DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
BREAK is used by the WHILE...LOOP and SWITCH...ENDS flow-control blocks (loops). In both
structures, if BREAK is encountered, the program jumps out of that particular WHILE loop or
SWITCH structure. If the control blocks are nested, BREAK only exits the WHILE loop or
SWITCH structure that it is currently in.
The most common use of BREAK is to end each CASE of a SWITCH control structure. Without
the BREAK statement, the program would continue to execute into the next CASE, even if it is
not true.
EXAMPLE:
SWITCH a
CASE 1
PRINT("Hiya!",#13)
CASE 2
PRINT("Lo there!",#13)
BREAK
CASE 3
