Julia Language for Loops Find smallest prime factor
Example
In some situations, one might want to return from a function before finishing an entire loop. The return statement can be used for this.
function primefactor(n)
for i in 2:n
if n % i == 0
return i
end
end
@assert false # unreachable
end
Usage:
julia> primefactor(100)
2
julia> primefactor(97)
97
Loops can also be terminated early with the break statement, which terminates just the enclosing loop instead of the entire function.
