Scala Break Statement

by Online Tutorials Library July 14, 2022

Scala Break

Break is used to break a loop or program execution. It skips the current execution. Inside inner loop it breaks the execution of inner loop.

In scala, there is no break statement but you can do it by using break method and by importing scala.util.control.Breaks._ package. Let’s see an example.

Scala Break Example

  import scala.util.control.Breaks._// Importing  package  object MainObject {     def main(args: Array[String]) {          breakable { // Breakable method to avoid exception              for(i<-1 to 10 by 2){                  if(i==7)                       break// Break used here                  else                      println(i)              }          }      }  }  

Output:

1  3  5

Scala Break Example: Break inner Loop

You can use break statement to terminate execution of inner loop in nested loop.

Let’s see an example.

  import scala.util.control.Breaks._  object MainObject {     def main(args: Array[String]) {          for(i <- 1 to 3){              breakable {                   for(j <- 1 to 3){                      if(i == 2 & j == 2 )                          break                      println(i+” “+j)                  }              }          }      }  }  

Output:

1 1  1 2  1 3  2 1  3 1  3 2  3 3
