    How this happend to you ever? In the Programing world you use break to break out of a loop but in the real world you need a break to really continue.

        I normally take a very hard look at a for loop that needs a break, wondering who and why TF wrote such a thing.

          All right, you guys, I got eight crates of Ipecac from Mort. All on my tab. Now, whoever goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie in the fridge.

              Think of it as a switch with an iterable. It has to break the iteration when it's finished doing what it has to do, or a millisecond or two of time will be lost forever.

                I suppose that is in the same set of 'never use goto' and 'no multiple return'. That's a rather dogmatic approach that may work possibly with newbies, in my humble opinion. :)

                    With linq to sql I do this with foreach loops for performance reasons... Allow me to elaborate with two examples: Option A:

                    var queryResult = (from i in ctx.SomeTable
                    where i.ID == 42
                    select i);

                    //
                    // Only continue if queryResult has an item
                    if (queryResult.Count() > 0)
                    {
                    //
                    // Do some work
                    }

                    Option B:

                    var queryResult = (from i in ctx.SomeTable
                    where i.ID == 42
                    select i);

                    //
                    // Only continue if queryResult has an item
                    bool ItemExsists = false;
                    foreach (var i in queryResult)
                    {
                    ItemExsists = true;
                    break;
                    }

                    if (ItemExsists)
                    {
                    //
                    // Do Some Work
                    }

                    queryResult.Count() is dead frign slow when all your interested in knowing is if there is at least one result in the collection. Option B isn't very pretty, but it works better than option A speed wise.

                      A foreach loop is more like a while loop than a for loop, so you have more slack to use break. Then, what about Option C?

                      if (queryResult.Any())
                      {
                      //do some work.
                      }

                        I often use break when there's one exception to the rule which is the loop condition. Including that extra exception into the loop declaration just makes it unclearer in my mind.

                          I like to add a goto inside my empty exceptions which then jump to a switch statement with multiple returns.

                            I always make exceptions as well. Exceptions rule.
