Below is snippet of code for breaking the Execution of statement using break statement
for(st=1;st<=20;st=st+5) {
if(st == 15) {
break;
}
document.write(st+"<br>");
}
output comes
1-6-11-16
I don't understand why 16 appear as loop should break on 15..
Your st NEVER hits 15, so the if() never triggers. You probably want if (st >= 15) instead, so you can check for "15 or larger".
iteration #1: st = 1 st == 15 -> false
iteration #2: st = 6 st == 15 -> false
iteration #3: st = 11 st == 15 -> false
iteration #4: st = 16 st == 15 -> false
v.s.
iteration #1: st = 1 st >= 15 -> false
iteration #2: st = 6 st >= 15 -> false
iteration #3: st = 11 st >= 15 -> false
iteration #4: st = 16 st >= 15 -> true
Your value starts at 1, not 0. So you never hit 15 exactly.
you should use
for(st=1;st<=20;st=st+5){
if(st >= 15)
break;
else console.log(st);}
Your statement starts with 1 so it will never hit 15.If you want to hit 15 here you are
for(st=0;st<=20;st=st+5) {
if(st == 15) {
break;
}
document.write(st+"<br>");
}
