quit.w=0 : i.w=0 While i < 5 AND quit=0 If i=4 NPrint "Quitting loop..." quit=1 Else NPrint "Counting... ", i EndIf i+1 Wend ; And just to show the same thing with a different loop type i=0 : quit=0 Repeat If i=4 NPrint "Quitting loop..." quit=1 Else NPrint "Counting... ", i EndIf i+1 Until i=10 OR quit=1 MouseWait End

Of course, this is not always possible, e.g. in For...Next loops. Another possibility would be to change the value of the parts of the loop expression so that the loop terminates. For example, you could set the value of the variable in a For loop to the value of the second expression, which would cause the loop to end. Examples of these are shown below:

; Exiting a For...Next loop by changing the value of the loop variable For i.w=0 To 10 NPrint "First loop, counting: ",i ; We will quit this for loop when the count has reached 5 If i=5 Then i=10 Next ; Exiting another type of loop using the loop expression as is i = 0 Repeat NPrint "Loop2, counting: ",i i=i+1 If i=7 NPrint "Exiting loop" i = 10 EndIf Until i=10 MouseWait End

The final possibility is to use the Pop command. This makes the program "forget" about the current loop, but it also means that you must jump past the command which is used to end the loop (and this will be described on the next page). The format of the Pop command is:

Pop <Loop type>
