break

I have to make this game for my comp class, and I can't figure out how how break out of this loop. See, I have to play against the "computer," by rolling bigger numbers, and seeing who has the bigger score. But I can't figure out how to "break" from my turn, and transition to the computers turn. I need "Q" (quit) to signal the beginning of the computers turn, but I don't know how to do it. ans=(R) while True: print('Your score is so far '+str(myScore)+'.') print("Would you like to roll or quit?") ans=input("Roll...") if ans=='R': R=random.randint(1, 8) print("You rolled a "+str(R)+".") myScore

This question already has an answer here: How do I break out of nested loops in Java? 33 answers If I have loop in a loop and once an if statement is satisfied I want to break main loop, how am I supposed to do that? This is my code: for (int d = 0; d < amountOfNeighbors; d++) { for (int c = 0; c < myArray.size(); c++) { if (graph.isEdge(listOfNeighbors.get(d), c)) { if (keyFromValue(c).equals(goalWord)) { // Once this is true I want to break main loop. System.out.println("We got to GOAL! It is "+ keyFromValue(c)); break; // This breaks the second loop, not the main one. } } } } Jigar Joshi

I just found out about using label s in JavaScript, such as: for (var i in team) { if(i === "something") { break doThis: //Goto the label } else { doThat(); } } doThis: //Label doIt(); I've not heard about this until now and I can't find much information online about it and I'm beginning to think there is a reason for that. It seems to me like this is similar to a GOTO statement in other languages and would be considered bad practice. Would I be right in assuming this? Those are loop breaker identifiers. They are useful if you have nested loops (loops inside loops) and using these identifiers,

Is there any way to break out of infinite loops using functions? E.g., # Python 3.3.2 yes = 'y', 'Y' no = 'n', 'N' def example(): if egg.startswith(no): break elif egg.startswith(yes): # Nothing here, block may loop again print() while True: egg = input("Do you want to continue? y/n") example() This causes the following error: SyntaxError: 'break' outside loop Please explain why this is happening and how this can be fixed. As far as I'm concerned you cannot call break from within example() but you can make it to return a value( eg : A boolean ) in order to stop the infinite loop The code: yes=

Consider the following code: var sentences = [ 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.', 'Vivamus aliquet nisl quis velit ornare tempor.', 'Cras sit amet neque ante, eu ultrices est.', 'Integer id lectus id nunc venenatis gravida nec eget dolor.', 'Suspendisse imperdiet turpis ut justo ultricies a aliquet tortor ultrices.' ]; var words = ['ipsum', 'amet', 'elit']; $(sentences).each(function() { var s = this; alert(s); $(words).each(function(i) { if (s.indexOf(this) > -1) { alert('found ' + this); return false; } }); }); The interesting part is the nested jQuery.each() loops.
