"Break"

[IIYAMA]

What can you do with break?

Does it works the same as return?

(I can't find this on wikimta)

[Renkon]

It is like a return but for for and while

[IIYAMA]

I don't get what you mean: "for for and while"

break stops for loops, while statements and I guess it stops repeat too.

It's a common "variable" in almost all languages.

return stops the function and returns a value or multiple values,

break, breaks the loop but doesn't stop a function

function aFunc( stopAt ) 
    local a; 
    for i = 1, 10 do 
        if i == stopAt then 
            a = i; 
            break; -- stops the loop but keeps executing rest of the function 
        end 
    end -- break hits end of the loop 
    -- do something else here 
    return a; 
end
