Exit

Control flow statement to exit a compound statement block

Syntax

Exit {Do | For | While | Select }
Exit {Sub | Function | Operator | Constructor | Destructor | Property }
Exit {Do [, Do [ , ...] ] |
For [, For [ , ...] ] |
While [, While, [...] ] |
Select [, Select [ , ...] ] }

Description

Leaves a code block such as a Sub, Function, Operator, Constructor, Destructor, Property, Do...Loop, For...Next, While...Wend, or a Select Case block. The execution skips the rest of the block and goes to the line after its end.

Where there are multiple Do / For / While / Select blocks nested, it will skip to the end of the innermost block of that type. You can skip to the end of multiple blocks of that type by giving the word multiple times, separated by commas.
For example: Exit While, While

Remarks

• EXIT OPERATOR, EXIT CONSTRUCTOR, EXIT DESTRUCTOR, EXIT PROPERTY, EXIT WHILE and EXIT SELECT are new to FreeBASIC.
