Return from a for loop in Objective-C

Question

I have a game with a computer AI that saves info to an array and I need to loop through the array, which is fine but once it finds the value I'm looking for it keeps searching, normaly this would not be a problem but the arrays can get quite large and I'd prefer to be able to simply stop the loop once I have the values that I need.

Use the break statement:

for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
    if (i == 2) {
        // Exit the loop on the 3rd iteration
        break;
    }
}

This also works in (for ... in ...) loops.
