# exit statement

The exit statement forces an early exit
from a loop that is under for...next or loop...repeat control.

## Syntax

```
exit
```

## Description

The program continues with the
next executable statement after the next or repeat statement.

Note: If the exit is not embedded in a loop...repeat or for...next construct, it is ignored.

## Example(s)

```
loop
 input guess
 if guess=’end’ then exit
while guess > 1 and guess < 100 do repeat
```
