## JavaScript break and continue Statements

There are two special statements that can be used inside loops: break and continue.

### Break

The break command will break the loop and continue executing the code that follows after the loop (if any).

Example

    <html>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var i=0;
    for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
    {
    if (i==3)
    {
    break;
    }
    document.write("The number is " + i);
    document.write("<br />");
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

Result

    The number is 0
    The number is 1
    The number is 2

### Continue

The continue command will break the current loop and continue with the next value.

Example

    <html>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var i=0
    for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
    {
    if (i==3)
    {
    continue;
    }
    document.write("The number is " + i);
    document.write("<br />");
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

Result

    The number is 0
    The number is 1
    The number is 2
    The number is 4
    The number is 5
    The number is 6
    The number is 7

## Learn how your website performs under various load conditions

WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications. In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
