Breaking out of nested loops in javascript: throw vs return [duplicate]

Question

when breaking out of Nested loops in javascript would it be better (as in faster, less problematic, or more popular) to break using a try-catch-throw like a lot of people do in python, or have a self-executing function that returns out of the loops?

You should use throw if you encounter a problem that means you cannot continue.

Use return to indicate you want to exit the function.

Using errors in place of control flow gives the wrong impression about your intent.
