====== break ====== **break** is used to exit from a **do**, **for**, or **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; break; } delay(50); } Source: arduino.cc
