while loop closure

[libsfan01]

hi all

in my js code i have a while loop contained within a while loop
executed on the basis of a conditional if statement, what i want to do
is end the entire function on the last execution on the 2nd while loop
(contained within the 1st), bcos the 2nd while loop changes the
condition evaluated by the if statement which means another while loop
(executed where if evaluates differently) gets executed straight
afterwards

can anyone help me on this?

regards

marc

You could place both "while" constructs in a function then
"return" (exit) from the function based on your criteria.

you can use break followed by a label name to break out of either or both
loops.

Simply return when the condition is true:

function foo(){
while ( ... ){
if ( ... ){
while ( ... ){
if ( ... ) return ... ;
}
}
}
return ... ;
}
