How to STOP a JavaScript function when a certain condition is met
Question by Rhys
I can’t find a recommended way to STOP a function part way thru when a given condition is met. Something like Exit, or Break?
I am currently using this?
If x >=10 {Return;}
other conditions;

Return is how you exit out of a function body. You are using the correct approach.
I suppose, depending on how your application is structured, you could also use throw. That would typically require that your calls to your function are wrapped in a try / catch block.
Answer by Starx
use return for this
if(i==1) {
return; //stop the execution of function
}
else {
//keep on going
}
