# `break`

`break` is used to exit from a while, for, or do/while loop, bypassing the normal loop condition. It is also used to exit from a switch statement.

## Example

    for (x = 0; x < 255; x ++)
    {
        digitalWrite(PWMpin, x);
        sens = analogRead(sensorPin);
        if (sens > threshold){      // bail out on sensor detect
           x = 0;
           // this line of code means that we'll immediately exit
           // from the "for" loop:
           break;
        }
        delay(50);
    }
