# Exit Statement

Exits a \<emph\>Do...Loop\</emph\>, \<emph\>For...Next\</emph\>, a function, or a subroutine.

## Syntax:

    see Parameters

## Parameters:

\<emph\>Exit Do\</emph\>

Only valid within a \<emph\>Do...Loop\</emph\> statement to exit the loop. Program execution continues with the statement that follows the Loop statement. If \<emph\>Do...Loop\</emph\> statements are nested, the control is transferred to the loop in the next higher level.

\<emph\>Exit For\</emph\>

Only valid within a \<emph\>For...Next\</emph\> loop to exit the loop. Program execution continues with the first statement that follows the \<emph\>Next\</emph\> statement. In nested statements, the control is transferred to the loop in the next higher level.

\<emph\>Exit Function\</emph\>

Exits the \<emph\>Function\</emph\> procedure immediately. Program execution continues with the statement that follows the \<emph\>Function\</emph\> call.

\<emph\>Exit Sub\</emph\>

Exits the subroutine immediately. Program execution continues with the statement that follows the \<emph\>Sub\</emph\> call.

The Exit statement does not define the end of a structure, and must not be confused with the End statement.

## Example:

    Sub ExampleExit

    Dim sReturn As String

    Dim sListArray(10) As String

    Dim siStep As Single

        For siStep = 0 to 10 REM Fill array with test data

            sListArray(siStep) = chr(siStep + 65)

            MsgBox sListArray(siStep)

        Next siStep

        sReturn = LinSearch(sListArray(), "B")

        Print sReturn

    End Sub

    Function LinSearch( sList(), sItem As String ) As Integer

    Dim iCount As Integer

    REM LinSearch searches a TextArray:sList() for a TextEntry:

    REM Returns the index of the entry or 0 ( Null)

        For iCount=1 To Ubound( sList() )

            If sList( iCount ) = sItem Then

                Exit for REM sItem found

            End If

        Next iCount

        If iCount = Ubound( sList() ) Then iCount = 0

        LinSearch = iCount

    End Function
