# Loops/Nested

Loops/Nested
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show a nested loop which searches a two-dimensional array filled with random numbers uniformly distributed over ${\displaystyle [1,\ldots ,20]}$.

The loops iterate rows and columns of the array printing the elements until the value ${\displaystyle 20}$ is met.

Specifically, this task also shows how to break out of nested loops.

## AWK

To break from two loops, this program uses two break statements and one b flag.

`BEGIN {	rows = 5	columns = 5 	# Fill ary[] with random numbers from 1 to 20.	for (r = 1; r <= rows; r++) {		for (c = 1; c <= columns; c++)			ary[r, c] = int(rand() * 20) + 1	} 	# Find a 20.	b = 0	for (r = 1; r <= rows; r++) {		for (c = 1; c <= columns; c++) {			v = ary[r, c]			printf " %2d", v			if (v == 20) {				print				b = 1				break			}		}		if (b) break		print	}}`

## BASIC

Works with: QuickBasic version 4.5
`DIM a(1 TO 10, 1 TO 10) AS INTEGERCLSFOR row = 1 TO 10        FOR col = 1 TO 10                a(row, col) = INT(RND * 20) + 1        NEXT colNEXT row FOR row = LBOUND(a, 1) TO UBOUND(a, 1)        FOR col = LBOUND(a, 2) TO UBOUND(a, 2)                PRINT a(row, col)                IF a(row, col) = 20 THEN END        NEXT colNEXT row`

### Sinclair ZX81 BASIC

Works with 1k of RAM.

A couple of points to note: (1) since the values we want are small enough to fit into an unsigned byte, we cast them to characters and store them in an array of strings—thereby using only a fifth of the storage space that an array of numbers would take up; (2) the `GOTO` statement in line 100 breaks out of both the enclosing loops and also, since its target is higher than any line number in the program, causes execution to terminate normally.

` 10 DIM A\$(20,20) 20 FOR I=1 TO 20 30 FOR J=1 TO 20 40 LET A\$(I,J)=CHR\$ (1+INT (RND*20)) 50 NEXT J 60 NEXT I 70 FOR I=1 TO 20 80 FOR J=1 TO 20 90 PRINT CODE A\$(I,J);" ";100 IF CODE A\$(I,J)=20 THEN GOTO 130110 NEXT J120 NEXT I`

## BBC BASIC

`      DIM array(10,10)      FOR row% = 0 TO 10        FOR col% = 0 TO 10          array(row%,col%) = RND(20) + 1        NEXT      NEXT row%      FOR row% = 0 TO 10        FOR col% = 0 TO 10          PRINT "row "; row%, "col ";col%, "value "; array(row%,col%)          IF array(row%,col%) = 20 EXIT FOR row%        NEXT      NEXT row% `

EXIT FOR can jump out of multiple nested loops by specifying a control variable.

## bc

Arrays have only one dimension, so we use a[i * c + j] instead of a[i, j].

Translation of: AWK

## C

Using goto (note: gotos are considered harmful):

`#include <stdlib.h>#include <time.h>#include <stdio.h> int main() {    int a[10][10], i, j;     srand(time(NULL));    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)        for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)            a[i][j] = rand() % 20 + 1;     for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {        for (j = 0; j < 10; j++) {            printf(" %d", a[i][j]);            if (a[i][j] == 20)                goto Done;        }        printf("\n");    }Done:    printf("\n");    return 0;}`

## C++

Lambda call:

Works with: C++11
`#include<cstdlib>#include<ctime>#include<iostream> using namespace std;int main(){    int arr[10][10];    srand(time(NULL));    for(auto& row: arr)        for(auto& col: row)            col = rand() % 20 + 1;     ([&](){       for(auto& row : arr)           for(auto& col: row)           {               cout << col << endl;               if(col == 20)return;           }    })();    return 0;}`

Goto statement:

Works with: C++11
`#include<cstdlib>#include<ctime>#include<iostream> using namespace std;int main(){    int arr[10][10];    srand(time(NULL));    for(auto& row: arr)        for(auto& col: row)            col = rand() % 20 + 1;     for(auto& row : arr) {        for(auto& col: row) {            cout << ' ' << col;            if (col == 20) goto out;        }        cout << endl;    }    out:     return 0;}`

## C#

Uses goto as C# has no way to break from multiple loops

`using System; class Program {    static void Main(string[] args) {        int[,] a = new int[10, 10];        Random r = new Random();         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {            for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {                a[i, j] = r.Next(0, 21) + 1;            }        }         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {            for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {                Console.Write(" {0}", a[i, j]);                if (a[i, j] == 20) {                    goto Done;                }            }            Console.WriteLine();        }    Done:        Console.WriteLine();    }}`

Same using Linq :

`using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq; class Program {    static void Main(string[] args) {            int[,] a = new int[10, 10];            Random r = new Random();             // prepare linq statement with two 'from' which makes nested loop            var pairs = from i in Enumerable.Range(0, 10)                        from j in Enumerable.Range(0, 10)                        select new { i = i, j = j};             // iterates through the full nested loop with a sigle foreach statement            foreach (var p in pairs)            {                a[p.i, p.j] = r.Next(0, 21) + 1;            }             // iterates through the nested loop until find element = 20            pairs.Any(p => { Console.Write(" {0}", a[p.i, p.j]); return a[p.i, p.j] == 20; });            Console.WriteLine();    }}`

## Chapel

`use Random; var nums:[1..10, 1..10] int;var rnd = new RandomStream(); [ n in nums ] n = floor(rnd.getNext() * 21):int;delete rnd; // this shows a clumsy explicit way of iterating, to actually create nested loops: label outer for i in nums.domain.dim(1) {        for j in nums.domain.dim(2) {                write(" ", nums(i,j));                if nums(i,j) == 20 then break outer;        }        writeln();}`

## Clojure

We explicitly return a status flag from the inner loop:

`(ns nested) (defn create-matrix [width height]  (for [_ (range width)]    (for [_ (range height)]      (inc (rand-int 20))))) (defn print-matrix [matrix]  (loop [[row & rs] matrix]    (when (= (loop [[x & xs] row]               (println x)               (cond (= x 20) :stop                     xs (recur xs)                     :else :continue))             :continue)      (when rs (recur rs))))) (print-matrix (create-matrix 10 10))`

In this program, li lj + 3 + Q breaks both the inner loop and the outer loop. We must count how many levels of string execution to break. Our loops use tail recursion, so each iteration is a level of string execution. We have i + 1 calls to outer loop L, and j + 1 calls to inner loop I, and 1 call to condition D; so we break i + j + 3 levels with li lj + 3 + Q.

## Dyalect

There is no direct way to break out of a nested loop in Dyalect, `goto` is also not supported, however the desired effect can be achieved by placing a nested loop in an expression context and make it return `true` if we need to break out of the parent loop:

`const array = [[2, 12, 10, 4], [18, 11, 20, 2]] for row in array {    if {         for element in row {            print("\(element)")            if element == 20 {                break true            }        }    } {        break    }}print("*Done")`
Output:
```2
12

4
18
11
20

## E

## Factor

Whenever you need to break out of iteration early in Factor, you almost always want to use `find`. `find` is a tail-recursive combinator that searches a sequence. Its base case is satisfied when its predicate quotation returns `t`.

`USING: io kernel math.ranges prettyprint random sequences ; 10 [ 20 [ 20 [1,b] random ] replicate ] replicate    ! make a table of random values[ [ dup pprint bl 20 = ] find nl drop ] find 2drop   ! print values until 20 is found`

Alternatively, calling `return` from inside a `with-return` quotation allows one to break out of the quotation. This is similar to the way other languages do things: with an explicit break. This is less elegant in Factor because it introduces an additional quotation and involves continuations when they aren't strictly necessary (resulting in slower execution than `find`).

`USING: continuations io kernel math.ranges prettyprint randomsequences ; 10 [ 20 [ 20 [1,b] random ] replicate ] replicate             ! make a table of random values[    [ [ dup pprint bl 20 = [ return ] when ] each nl ] each   ! print values until 20 is found] with-return drop`

## Fantom

There is no specific way to break out of nested loops (such as a labelled break, or goto). Instead, we can use exceptions and a try-catch block.

`class Main{  public static Void main ()  {    rows := 10    cols := 10    // create and fill an array of given size with random numbers    Int[][] array := [,]    rows.times    {      row := [,]      cols.times { row.add(Int.random(1..20)) }      array.add (row)    }    // now do the search    try    {      for (i := 0; i < rows; i++)      {        for (j := 0; j < cols; j++)        {          echo ("now at (\$i, \$j) which is \${array[i][j]}")          if (array[i][j] == 20) throw (Err("found it"))        }      }    }    catch (Err e)    {      echo (e.msg)      return // and finish    }    echo ("No 20")  }}`

Works with: Fortran version 90 and later

Here the special feature is that later Fortran allows loops to be labelled (with "outer" in this example) on their first and last statements. Any EXIT or CYCLE statements can then mention the appropriate label so as to be clear just which loop is involved, otherwise the assumption is the innermost loop only. And no "GO TO" statements need appear.

`program Example  implicit none   real :: ra(5,10)  integer :: ia(5,10)  integer :: i, j   call random_number(ra)  ia = int(ra * 20.0) + 1 outer: do i = 1, size(ia, 1)         do j = 1, size(ia, 2)           write(*, "(i3)", advance="no") ia(i,j)           if (ia(i,j) == 20) exit outer         end do         write(*,*)       end do outer end program Example`

## J

In J, using loops is usually a bad idea.

Here's how the problem statement (ignoring the "requirement" for loops) could be solved, without loops:

`use=: ({.~ # <. 1+i.&20)@:,`

Here's how the problem could be solved, using loops:

`doubleLoop=:verb define  for_row.i.#y do.    for_col.i.1{\$y do.      smoutput t=.(<row,col) { y      if.20=t do.''return.end.    end.  end.)`
Example use:
```   use ?.20 20 \$ 21
6 17 13 3 5 16 10 4 20
doubleLoop ?.20 20 \$ 21
6
17
13
3
5
16
10
4
20
```

The first approach is probably a couple thousand times faster than the second.

(In real life, good problem definitions might typically involve "use cases" (which are specified in terms of the problem domain, instead in terms of irrelevant details). Of course "Rosetta Code" is about how concepts would be expressed in different languages. However, even here, tasks which dwell on language-specific issues are probably not a good use of people's time.)

## Java

`import java.util.Random; public class NestedLoopTest {    public static final Random gen = new Random();    public static void main(String[] args) {        int[][] a = new int[10][10];        for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)            for (int j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++)                a[i][j] = gen.nextInt(20) + 1;         Outer:for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {            for (int j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++) {                System.out.print(" " + a[i][j]);                if (a[i][j] == 20)                    break Outer; //adding a label breaks out of all loops up to and including the labelled loop            }            System.out.println();        }        System.out.println();    }}`

## JavaScript

Demonstrates use of `break` with a label. Uses `print()` function from Rhino.

`// a "random" 2-D array var a = [[2, 12, 10, 4], [18, 11, 9, 3], [14, 15, 7, 17], [6, 19, 8, 13], [1, 20, 16, 5]]; outer_loop:for (var i in a) {    print("row " + i);    for (var j in a[i]) {        print(" " + a[i][j]);        if (a[i][j] == 20)             break outer_loop;    }}print("done");`

In a functional idiom of JavaScript, however, we can not use a loop statement, as statements return no value and can not be composed within other functional expressions. Functional JavaScript often replaces a loop with a map or fold. In this case, we can achieve the same task by defining the standard list-processing function takeWhile, which terminates when a condition returns true.

We can then search the groups in the nested array by nesting takeWhile inside itself, and finally terminate when the 20 is found by one further application of takeWhile.

Using the same data as above, and returning the trail of numbers up to twenty from a nested and composable expression:

`var lst = [[2, 12, 10, 4], [18, 11, 9, 3], [14, 15, 7, 17], [6, 19, 8, 13], [1,  20, 16, 5]]; var takeWhile = function (lst, fnTest) {    'use strict';    var varHead = lst.length ? lst[0] : null;     return varHead ? (      fnTest(varHead) ? [varHead].concat(        takeWhile(lst.slice(1), fnTest)      ) : []    ) : []  },   // The takeWhile function terminates when notTwenty(n) returns false  notTwenty = function (n) {    return n !== 20;  },   // Leftward groups containing no 20  // takeWhile nested within takeWhile  lstChecked = takeWhile(lst, function (group) {    return takeWhile(      group,      notTwenty    ).length === 4;  });  // Return the trail of numbers preceding 20 from a composable expression console.log(  // Numbers before 20 in a group in which it was found  lstChecked.concat(    takeWhile(      lst[lstChecked.length], notTwenty    )  )  // flattened  .reduce(function (a, x) {    return a.concat(x);  }).join('\n'));`

## jq

jq has a `break` statement for breaking out of nested loops, and in this entry, it is used in the following function:

`# Given an m x n matrix,# produce a stream of the matrix elements (taken row-wise)# up to but excluding the first occurrence of \$maxdef stream(\$max):  . as \$matrix  | length as \$m  | (.[0] | length) as \$n  | label \$ok  | {i: range(0;\$m), j: range(0;\$n)}  | \$matrix[.i][.j] as \$m  | if \$m == \$max then break \$ok else \$m end ;`

The nesting above could be made more visually explicit, for example, by using the equivalent form:

```   range(0;\$m) as \$i
| range(0;\$n) as \$j
```

but the previous formulation illustrates a concise alternative.

To generate the random matrix, and to accomplish the "pretty-printing" component of the task, the following function for converting a stream to an array of arrays is useful:

`# Create an array of arrays by using the items in the stream, s,# to create successive rows, each row having at most n items.def reshape(s; n):  reduce s as \$s ({i:0, j:0, matrix: []};    .matrix[.i][.j] = \$s    | if .j + 1 == n then .i += 1 | .j = 0       else .j += 1      end)  | .matrix;`

Assuming the availability of rand/1 (e.g. as defined below), we can now readily define functions to create the matrix and pretty-print the items as required:

`# Create an m x n matrix filled with numbers in [1 .. max]def randomMatrix(m; n; max):  reshape(limit(m * n; rand(max) + 1); n); # Present the matrix up to but excluding the first occurrence of \$maxdef show(\$m; \$n; \$max):  reshape( randomMatrix(\$m; \$n; \$max) | stream(\$max); \$n)[] ; # Main program for the problem at hand.show(20; 4; 20)`
Output:

Assuming proper placement of PRNG functions as defined below, the following invocation:

```   \$ jq -cn -f program.jq --arg seed 17
```

produces:

```[1,17,19,12]
[13,8,18,10]
[18,15,3,18]
[11,12,3,10]
[4,8,1,14]
[12,1,10,9]
[3,16,19,13]
[10,12,13]```

## M2000 Interpreter

We can use a number as a label, so instead of using "then goto there" we can use "then 1000" if label is 1000.

No numeric labels may have only comments in same line.

Numeric labels may have 1 to 5 digits, including leading zeros. So 00010 is label 10. Numeric labels have no : after, but if we place one then this isn't fault, because : is a statement separator.

In this example we execute nested for two times, using a third for.

` Module Checkit {            Dim A(10,10)<<Random(1, 20)            For k=1 to 2 {                  For i=0 to 9 {                        For j=0 to 9 {                              Print A(i,j)                              if A(i,j)=20 then goto there                        }                  }                  there:                  Print "...ok", k            }}Checkit `

## MATLAB / Octave

Loops are considered slow in Matlab and Octave, it is preferable to vectorize the code.

`	a = ceil(rand(100,100)*20);	[ix,iy]=find(a==20,1)`

A non-vectorized version of the code is shown below in Octave

I was somewhat disappointed by the performance of the above program and started a little performance analysis on solutions of this task for the languages I know.

I created a test program with a 500 x 500 matrix, all elements set to 0 except for the last one, which I set to 20. Then I repeat the search 100 times.

The timings are:

## Octave

Octave has no way of exiting nested loop; so we need a control variable, or we can use the trick of embedding the loops into a function and use the return statement. (The search for "exactly 20" is changed into a search for "almost 20")

`function search_almost_twenty()% create a 100x100 matrix...m = unifrnd(0,20, 100,100);for i = 1:100  for j = 1:100    disp( m(i,j) )    if ( abs(m(i,j) - 20) < 1e-2 )      return    endif  endforendforendfunction search_almost_twenty() % avoiding function, we need a control variable.m = unifrnd(0,20, 100,100);innerloopbreak = false;for i = 1:100  for j = 1:100    disp( m(i,j) )    if ( abs(m(i,j) - 20) < 1e-2 )      innerloopbreak = true;      break;    endif  endfor  if ( innerloopbreak )    break;  endifendfor`

## OoRexx

`numbers = .array~new()do i = 1 to 10    do j = 1 to 10        numbers[i,j] = random(1, 20)    endend do i = 1 to numbers~dimension(1)    do j = 1 to numbers~dimension(2)        say numbers[i,j]        if numbers[i,j] = 20 then            leave i    endend`

## Oz

We can directly access and use the outer loop's break procedure:

`declare  fun {CreateMatrix Width Height}    Matrix = {List.make Height}  in    for Row in Matrix do       Row = {List.make Width}       for X in Row do          X = {OS.rand} mod 20 +1       end    end    Matrix  end   proc {PrintMatrix Matrix}    %% print until we see 20     for Row in Matrix break:OuterBreak do        for X in Row do           {Show X}           if X == 20 then {OuterBreak} end        end     end  endin  {PrintMatrix {CreateMatrix 10 10}}`

## PARI/GP

`M=matrix(10,10,i,j,random(20)+1);for(i=1,10,for(j=1,10,if(M[i,j]==20,break(2))))`

## Pascal

Works with: FreePascal version 1.0
`program LoopNested;uses SysUtils;const Ni=10; Nj=20;var  tab: array[1..Ni,1..Nj] of Integer;  i, j: Integer;label loopend;begin  for i := 1 to Ni do    for j := 1 to Nj do      tab[i,j]:=random(20)+1;  for i := 1 to Ni do  begin    for j := 1 to Nj do    begin      WriteLn(tab[i,j]);      if tab[i,j]=20 then goto loopend    end  end;loopend:end.`

## Perl

`my \$a = [ map [ map { int(rand(20)) + 1 } 1 .. 10 ], 1 .. 10]; Outer:foreach (@\$a) {    foreach (@\$_) {        print " \$_";        if (\$_ == 20) {            last Outer;        }    }    print "\n";}print "\n";`

## Perl 6

Works with: rakudo version 2015-09-18
`my @a = [ (1..20).roll(10) ] xx *; LINE: for @a -> @line {    for @line -> \$elem {        print " \$elem";        last LINE if \$elem == 20;    }    print "\n";}print "\n";`
Output:
``` 15 6 14 13 14 7 9 16 8 18
7 6 18 11 19 13 12 5 18 8
17 17 9 5 4 8 17 8 3 11
9 20```

## Phix

use an explicit flag

`constant s = sq_rand(repeat(repeat(20,20),20))integer found = 0for i=1 to 20 do    for j=1 to 20 do        printf(1,"%d",s[i][j])        if s[i][j]=20 then            found = 1            exit        end if        printf(1,", ")    end for    printf(1,"\n")    if found then exit end ifend for`

alternatively you can use a procedure

`procedure till20()    for i=1 to 20 do        for j=1 to 20 do            printf(1,"%d",s[i][j])            if s[i][j]=20 then return end if            printf(1,", ")        end for        printf(1,"\n")    end forend proceduretill20()printf(1,"\n")`

or even inline assembly to effect a goto

`for i=1 to 20 do    for j=1 to 20 do        printf(1,"%d",s[i][j])        if s[i][j]=20 then #ilASM{jmp :%done} end if        printf(1,", ")    end for    printf(1,"\n")end for#ilASM{:%done}printf(1,"\n")`

## PHP

`<?phpfor (\$i = 0; \$i < 10; \$i++)    for (\$j = 0; \$j < 10; \$j++)        \$a[\$i][\$j] = rand(1, 20); foreach (\$a as \$row) {    foreach (\$row as \$element) {        echo " \$element";        if (\$element == 20)            break 2; // 2 is the number of loops we want to break out of    }    echo "\n";}echo "\n";?>`

## PicoLisp

`(for Lst (make (do 10 (link (make (do 10 (link (rand 1 20)))))))   (T      (for N Lst         (printsp N)         (T (= N 20) T) ) ) )`

or:

`(catch NIL   (for Lst (make (do 10 (link (make (do 10 (link (rand 1 20)))))))      (for N Lst         (printsp N)         (and (= N 20) (throw)) ) ) )`

## Pike

Pike does not have a generic goto, but break is a special case in that you can specify labels and break several levels of loop. In practise this is extremely seldom used in favor of using a state variable or containing the nest in a function that you return from in the inner loop. However it's there if you want it:

` int main(){    // enumerate() normally returns a linearly enumerated array, but    // allows for the forth argument to specify a function that will    // be called and return the value that should be in each cell. We    // create an anonymous function (lambda) that just returns a    // random value.    array a = ({});    for(int i=0; i<20; i++)        a += ({ enumerate( 20, 1, 1, lambda(){return random(20)+1;} ) });     // We could use for() and a[x][y] indexing, but foreach is just    // shorter and easier to use even if the 2D-array becomes less    // obvious. mynestedloops:    foreach(a, array inner_a) {        foreach(inner_a, int value) {            write(value +" ");            if(value == 20)                break mynestedloops;        }    }    write("\n");} `

## PL/I

`   declare x(20,20) fixed;  /* 16 August 2010. */   x = random()*20 + 1;loops:   do i = 1 to hbound(x,1);      do j = 1 to hbound(x,2);         put (x(i,j));         if x(i,j) = 20 then leave loops;      end;      if x(i,j) = 20 then leave;   end;`

## Python

Python has only inner loop breaks. The normal way to solve this problem in Python is to move the code in a function, and use return:

`from random import randint def do_scan(mat):    for row in mat:        for item in row:            print item,            if item == 20:                print                return        print    print mat = [[randint(1, 20) for x in xrange(10)] for y in xrange(10)]do_scan(mat)`

The , after print element suppresses printing a line break. The code needs some minor changes for Python 3.

Two more solutions around this problem, the first uses exception handling:

`from random import randint class Found20(Exception):    pass mat = [[randint(1, 20) for x in xrange(10)] for y in xrange(10)] try:    for row in mat:        for item in row:            print item,            if item == 20:                raise Found20        printexcept Found20:    print`

The second uses a flag variable:

`from random import randint mat = [[randint(1, 20) for x in xrange(10)] for y in xrange(10)] found20 = Falsefor row in mat:    for item in row:        print item,        if item == 20:            found20 = True            break    print    if found20:        break`

## REXX

Since the two-dimensional array could potentially not be large enough to contain the target (20), it's possible to not find the target.
Code was added to this REXX program to reflect that possibility and issue an appropriate message (whether the target was found or not).

`/*REXX program loops through a two-dimensional array to search for a  '20'    (twenty). */parse arg rows cols targ .                       /*obtain optional arguments from the CL*/if rows=='' | rows==","  then rows=60            /*Rows not specified?

## Ruby

As the break command only jumps out of the innermost loop, this task requires Ruby's `catch/throw` functionality.

`ary = (1..20).to_a.shuffle.each_slice(4).to_ap ary catch :found_it do  for row in ary    for element in row      print "%2d " % element      throw :found_it if element == 20    end    puts ","  endend puts "done"`
Output:
```[[2, 12, 10, 4], [18, 11, 9, 3], [14, 15, 7, 17], [6, 19, 8, 13], [1, 20, 16, 5]]
2 12 10  4 ,
18 11  9  3 ,
14 15  7 17 ,
6 19  8 13 ,
1 20 done```

However, for-loops are not very popular. This is more idiomatic ruby, which avoids loops and breaking out of them:

`p slices = [*1..20].shuffle.each_slice(4) slices.any? do |slice|  puts  slice.any? do |element|    print "#{element} "    element == 20  endendputs "done"`

In Scala there is no build-in 'break' keyword. That functionality comes from a library.

## Smalltalk

Notice that the original answer (see below) was wrong (never say never say never...).

Works with: Smalltalk/X

it looks a bit wierd, but here is: loopWithExit

`|i| i := 1.[:exit |    Transcript showCR:i.    i == 5 ifTrue:[ exit value:'stopped' ].    i := i + 1.] loopWithExit`

these can also be nested, and exited from the inner loop:

`|i| i := 1.[:exit1 |    |j|     j := 0.    [:exit2 |        Transcript showCR:('i is %1 / j is %2' bindWith:i with:j).        j == 5 ifTrue:[ exit2 value: nil ].        i == 5 ifTrue:[ exit1 value: nil ].        j := j + 1.    ] loopWithExit.    i := i + 1] loopWithExit`

in case your smalltalk does not have it, here's the definition:

`!Block methodsFor:'looping'!loopWithExit    "the receiver must be a block of one argument.  It is evaluated in a loop forever,      and is passed a block, which, if sent a value:-message, will exit the receiver block,      returning the parameter of the value:-message. Used for loops with exit in the middle."     |exitBlock|     exitBlock := [:exitValue | ^ exitValue].    [true] whileTrue:[ self value:exitBlock ]`

in the same spirit, exits could be added to many other loop constructs. However, this is really only very rarely needed in Smalltalk, because a ^(return) out of a block returns from the enclosing method which usually used to exit early from search utility methods.

There is also valueWithExit, which can be used to get out of a block early and provide an alternative value. Using that, the tasks solution is:

`|v result| v := 1 to:20 collect:[:i |        1 to:20 collect:[:j | Random nextIntegerBetween:1 and:20 ]     ]. result :=     [:exit |        1 to:20 do:[:row |            1 to:20 do:[:col |                |element|                 (element := (v at:row) at:col) printCR.                element == 20 ifTrue:[ exit value:(row @ col) ].            ]        ].        nil    ] valueWithExit. result isNil ifTrue:[    'ouch - no 20 found' printCR.] ifFalse:[    '20 found at ' print. result printCR]`

Works with: GNU Smalltalk

Smalltalk has no ways of escaping from loops (single or nested), even if it is possible to extend its iteration capabilities in several ways.

The following code implements a BiArray class with a method that allows iteration over the elements (by columns and then by rows) and execution of a block if a condition is true.

`"this simple implementation of a bidimensional array lacks controls over the indexes, but has a way of iterating over array's elements, from left to right and top to bottom"Object subclass: BiArray [  |cols rows elements|  BiArray class >> columns: columns  rows: howManyRows [       ^ super basicNew init: columns per: howManyRows  ]  init: columns per: howManyRows [     cols := columns.     rows := howManyRows.     elements := Array new: ( columns * howManyRows )  ]  calcIndex: biIndex [ "column, row (x,y) to linear"    ^ ( (biIndex at: 1) + (((biIndex at: 2) - 1) * cols) )  ]  at: biIndex [ "biIndex is an indexable containing column row"     ^ elements at: (self calcIndex: biIndex).  ]  directAt: i [ ^ elements at: i ]  at: biIndex put: anObject [     elements at: (self calcIndex: biIndex) put: anObject  ]  whileTrue: aBlock do: anotherBlock [     |i lim|     i := 1. lim := rows * cols.     [ ( i <= lim )         & (aBlock value: (self directAt: i) )     ] whileTrue: [          anotherBlock value: (self directAt: i).         i := i + 1.       ]  ]]. |biarr|biarr := BiArray columns: 10 rows: 10. "fill the array; this illustrates nested loop but not how to escape from them"1 to: 10 do: [ :c |  1 to: 10 do: [ :r |     biarr at: {c . r} put: (Random between: 1 and: 20)  ]]. "loop searching for 20; each block gets the element passed as argument"biarr whileTrue: [ :v | v ~= 20 ]       do: [ :v | v displayNl ]`

## SPL

Output:
```x=1, y=1, a=7

```

## Stata

In Stata macro language, one can only break the innermost loop, with continue, break. There are several ways to cope with this.

First, build the matrix:

`matrix a=J(20,20,0)forv i=1/20 {	forv j=1/20 {		matrix a[`i',`j']=runiformint(1,20)	}}`

Use nested forvalues. If 20 is found, set a flag and break the inner loop. In the outer loop, check the flag and break the outer loop if 20 was found.

`local q 0forv i=1/20 {	forv j=1/20 {		display "check `i',`j'"		if el("a",`i',`j')==20 {			display "found at `i',`j'"			local q 1			continue, break		}	} 	if `q' continue, break}if !`q' {	display "not found"}`

Use nested while loops, and check both the loop indices and a flag. One could also use an inner forvalue loop together with an outer while loop.

`local q 0local i=1while !`q' & `i'<=20 {	local j=1	while !`q' & `j'<=20 {		display "check `i',`j'"		if el("a",`i',`j')==20 {			display "found at `i',`j'"			local q 1		}		local ++j	}	local ++i}if !`q' {	display "not found"}`

Use the exit/capture exception mechanism: exit tos throw an exception, and capture to catch it. Since this catches all exception, you have then to check the value of _rc.

`capture {	forv i=1/20 {		forv j=1/20 {			display "check `i',`j'"			if el("a",`i',`j')==20 {				display "found at `i',`j'"				exit -1			}		}	}}if _rc==-1 {	// value was found}else if _rc==0 {	display "not found"}else exit _rc`

### Mata

In Mata, the situation is simpler: one may return from a program without resort to exceptions, or use the goto statement. It's still possible to use break and flags though.

`function findval1(a,x,i0,j0) {	n=rows(a)	p=cols(a)	for (i=1; i<=n; i++) {		for (j=1; j<=p; j++) {			if (a[i,j]==x) {				i0=i				j0=j				return(1)			}		}	}	return(0)} function findval2(a,x,i0,j0) {	n=rows(a)	p=cols(a)	q=0	for (i=1; i<=n; i++) {		for (j=1; j<=p; j++) {			if (a[i,j]==x) {				i0=i				j0=j				q=1				goto END			}		}	}END:	return(q)} function findval3(a,x,i0,j0) {	n=rows(a)	p=cols(a)	q=0	for (i=1; i<=n; i++) {		for (j=1; j<=p; j++) {			if (a[i,j]==x) {				i0=i				j0=j				q=1				break			}		}		if (q) {			break		}	}	return(q)}`

Then with any of these functions, the return value indicates whether x has been found in a, and i,j are the indices where it has been found.

`a=st_matrix("a")findval1(a,20,i=.,j=.)findval2(a,20,i=.,j=.)findval3(a,20,i=.,j=.)`

## Swift

`let array = [[2, 12, 10, 4], [18, 11, 20, 2]] loop: for row in array {    for element in row {        println(" \(element)")        if element == 20 { break loop }    }}print("done")`
Output:
``` 2
12
10
4
18
11
20
done
```

## Tcl

Tcl only supports single-level breaks; exiting more deeply nested looping requires the use of exceptions, which are considerably more verbose before Tcl 8.6.

Works with: Tcl version 8.6
`set ary [subst [lrepeat 10 [lrepeat 5 {[expr int(rand()*20+1)]}]]] try {    foreach row \$ary {        foreach col \$row {            puts -nonewline [format %3s \$col]            if {\$col == 20} {                throw MULTIBREAK "we're done"            }        }        puts ,    }} trap MULTIBREAK {} {}puts " done"`
Output:

## UNIX Shell

Works with: Bash

Bash doesn't have two-dimentional arrays, so we fake it for this example

`size=10 for ((i=0;i<size;i++)); do  unset t[@]  for ((j=0;j<size;j++)); do    t[\$j]=\$((RANDOM%20+1))  done  a[\$i]="\${t[*]}"done for ((i=0;i<size;i++)); do  t=(\${a[\$i]})  for ((j=0;j<size;j++)); do    printf "%2d " \${t[\$j]}    [ \${t[\$j]} -eq 20 ] && break 2  done  echodoneecho`
Example output:
``` 7  5  4  6  4  5  2 15 10  7
15  4 14  9 10 14 14  3  3  5

## Visual Basic .NET

VB.NET doesn't have labelled loops, but the Exit statement discriminates between different types of block, allowing for several workarounds other than using a goto.

The set-up code:

`Module Program    Sub Main()        Const ROWS = 10        Const COLS = 10         ' Initialize with seed 0 to get deterministic output (may vary across .NET versions, though).        Dim rand As New Random(0)         ' VB uses max index array declarations        Dim nums(ROWS - 1, COLS - 1) As Integer         For r = 0 To ROWS - 1            For c = 0 To COLS - 1                nums(r, c) = rand.Next(0, 21) ' Upper bound is exclusive.            Next        Next         ' MISSING IMPLEMENTATION    End SubEnd Module`

Implementations:

Perhaps the simplest solution is to use a goto.

`        For r = 0 To ROWS - 1            For c = 0 To COLS - 1                Dim val = nums(r, c)                Console.WriteLine(val)                If val = 20 Then GoTo BREAK            Next        Next        BREAK:`

If, for some reason, a goto is undesirable, an alternative would be to exit a dummy outer block (in this case a single-iteration Do loop).

`        Do            For r = 0 To ROWS - 1                For c = 0 To COLS - 1                    Dim val = nums(r, c)                    Console.WriteLine(val)                    If val = 20 Then Exit Do                Next            Next        Loop While False`

Either For loop can also be converted to a different type of loop.

`        For r = 0 To ROWS - 1            Dim c = 0            Do While c <= COLS - 1                Dim val = nums(r, c)                Console.WriteLine(val)                If val = 20 Then Exit For                c += 1            Loop        Next`

The search can also be factored out to a separate method

`    Sub Find20Impl(arr As Integer(,))        For r = 0 To arr.GetLength(0) - 1            For c = 0 To arr.GetLength(1) - 1                Dim val = arr(r, c)                Console.WriteLine(val)                If val = 20 Then Exit Sub               'If val = 20 Then Return ' Equivalent to above.            Next        Next    End Sub`

and called from Main():

`        Find20Impl(nums)`

A translation of the VBA above, that sets the iteration variable of the outer For loop to an out-of-range value and exits the inner loop regularly.

`        For r = 0 To ROWS - 1            For c = 0 To COLS - 1                Dim val = nums(r, c)                Console.WriteLine(val)                If val = 20 Then                    r = ROWS                    Exit For                End If            Next        Next`

Similarly, a flag variable can be checked by the outer loop.

`        Dim done = False        For r = 0 To ROWS - 1            For c = 0 To COLS - 1                Dim val = nums(r, c)                Console.WriteLine(val)                If val = 20 Then                    done = True                    Exit For                End If            Next            If done Then Exit For        Next`
