It is a functional style, so typically you use return for continue and
throws to accomplish break and return, e.g.:
// Continue
let a = [0, 1]
a.forEach { _ in return } // for _ in a { continue }
// Break and return
enum LoopControls<T>: Error {
case exitLoop // Break
case returnValue(T) // Return
}
do {
do {
try a.forEach { _ in throw LoopControls<Void>.exitLoop } // for
_ in a { break }
} catch LoopControls<Void>.exitLoop {
// Process break if you need to
}
try a.forEach { _ in throw LoopControls<Double>.returnValue(42.0) }
// for _ in a { return 42.0 }
} catch LoopControls<Double>.returnValue(let value) {
return value
}
