break

how do i break out of an entire method (void return type)?

i have a loop that, under certain conditions, must contain some sort of
method termination (assignment).

does a 'break;' statement break out of the entire method, or just the loop?

thanks for any consideration

return;

Some companies do not allow the use of multiple points of return from a
method (except, of course, for exception handling) by convention.
