Sep 20, 2016 · I am using Python 3.5, and I would like to use the break command inside a function, but I do not know how. I would like to use something like this: def stopIfZero(a): if int(a) == 0: b...

A simple return statement will 'stop' or return the function; in precise terms, it 'returns' function execution to the point at which the function was called - the function is terminated without further action. That means you could have a number of places throughout your function where it might return. Like this:

Use break and continue to do this. Breaking nested loops can be done in Python using the following: for a in range(...): for b in range(..): if some condition: # break the inner loop break else: # will be called if the previous loop did not end with a `break` continue # but here we end up right after breaking the inner loop, so we can # simply break the outer loop as well break

return None or return can be used to exit out of a function or program, both does the same thing; quit() function can be used, although use of this function is discouraged for making real world applications and should be used only in interpreter.

There is no way to do this from a language level. Some languages have a goto others have a break that takes an argument, python does not. The best options are: Set a flag which is checked by the outer loop, or set the outer loops condition. Put the loop in a function and use return to break out of all the loops at once. Reformulate your logic ...

Mar 4, 2015 · break is used to end loops while return is used to end a function (and return a value). There is also continue as a means to proceed to next iteration without completing the current one. return can sometimes be used somewhat as a break when looping, an example would be a simple search function to search what in lst:

Dec 21, 2012 · Although, raising the exception to break the loop is a really ugly way to break loops and a nice way to break your code. KISS! The simplest would be to check the condition directly in the loop. def my_condition(x): return x == 4 for i …

Nov 11, 2024 · Don't use while True and break statements. It's bad programming. Imagine you come to debug someone else's code and you see a while True on line 1 and then have to trawl your way through another 200 lines of code with 15 break statements in it, having to read umpteen lines of code for each one to work out what actually causes it to get to the break.

In Python code, it is permissible to break before or after a binary operator, as long as the convention is consistent locally. For new code Knuth's style is suggested. [3]: Donald Knuth's The TeXBook, pages 195 and 196

Nov 15, 2016 · A break will only break out of the inner-most loop it's inside of. Your first example breaks from the outer loop, the second example only breaks out of the inner loop. To break out of multiple loops you need use a variable to keep track of whether you're trying to exit and check it each time the parent loop occurs.
