Force the for loop to stop
Hi, you could set a dummy variable to FALSE outside the outermost loop. If the break condition is met in the inner loop, set the dummy variable to TRUE before breaking and test its truth status in the outer loop. HTH Stephan Am 01.06.2011 21:25, schrieb Salih Tuna:
Hi,
I am looking for a command in R that would force the for loop to stop after
it finds what it is looking for.
As an example
for(i in 1:5){
for(j in 3:6){
if(i==j)
# do something...
break;
}
}
And i don't want the loop to execute once i = 3 and stop.
Is there a way to do this?
best,
salih
