arrays - Preferred way to break a forEach method in JavaScript -

this question has answer here:

• how short circuit array.foreach calling break? 23 answers

i using foreach method in javascript sum elements in array. felt need break out of loop on conditions, example putting limit on sum calculated. have come following solution. point me if wrong.

small edit this

function foreach(a) {  var sum = 0;  var breakexception = {error:"stop it"};  try {     a.foreach(function (v) {         sum += v;         console.log(sum);         if(sum>5) throw breakexception.error;     });     return sum; } catch(e) {     if(e!=breakexception){         throw e;     } } } 

foreach not supposed break. if 'd break foreach-like loop, try every or some, let break out of loop.

a possible way re-write code be

var sum = 0;  yourarray.some(function (item) {     if (sum > 5) {         return true;     }     sum += item; });
