How to break nested for loop using JavaScript?

Last Updated : 14 May, 2019

The break statement, which is used to exit a loop early. A label can be used with a break to control the flow more precisely. A label is simply an identifier followed by a colon(:) that is applied to a statement or a block of code. Note: there should not be any other statement in between a label name and associated loop. Example-1: Break from nested loop

javascript

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>
    <title>
        Break Nested For loop
    </title>
</head>

<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        <!--
        document.write(
          "Entering the Geeks For Geeks!<br /> ");

        for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            document.write(
              "For Upper Level in GfG : " + i + "<br />");
            document.write("<br />")

            for (var j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                // Break from the inner loop
                if (j == 3) break; 

                document.write(
                  "For Deeper Level in GfG : " + j + " <br />");
            }
           // Break from the outer loop
            if (i == 3) break;
        }
        document.write("Exiting the Geeks For Geeks!<br /> ");

    </script>
</body>
</html

Output:
