Previous discussions of multi-level break with argument:

Breaking/continuing out of multiple loops

Hi! SUGGESTION An easy way to break/continue within nested loops. MY REAL LIFE EXAMPLE I am looping through a list of basketball players, each of which has multiple tables, each of which can have up to three different versions. I manipulate data in the deepest loop and, if some key data is missing, I want to continue or break out of the nested loops because I am no longer interested in the player. PROPOSED NOTATION for player in all_players: for player_tables in all_tables: for version …

Break and continue could have arguments

break and continue could have arguments, that determine from which loop (starting counting from the loop where break is to out) program should break out or take new value for variable. for i1 in range(3): for i2 in range(3): for i3 in range(3): print(i1,i2,i3) if i1==i2==i3: break(1) outputs: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 0 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 2 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 0 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 0 0 2 0 1 2 0 2 2 1 0 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 0 2 2 1 2 2 2 for i1…
