# V1041 jump_outside_loop

> break or continue appears outside a for or while loop (or crosses a function boundary: a break inside a lambda cannot leave the loop around the lambda).

An error from the `resolve` phase. `sakura explain V1041` prints this explanation offline.

`break` or `continue` appears outside a `for` or `while` loop (or crosses a function boundary:
a `break` inside a lambda cannot leave the loop around the lambda). Return a value instead, or
move the jump into the loop body.

Wrong:

```sakura
fn stop() -> Int { break; 1 }
```

Fixed:

```sakura
fn stop() -> Int { for _ in 0..10 { break }; 1 }
```

## Wrong program [#wrong-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/V1041_jump_outside_loop.sakura`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/master/compiler/tests/ui/V1041_jump_outside_loop.sakura), which the compiler's ui suite runs through `sakura check`:

```sakura
fn stop() -> Int {
  break
  1
}
```

`sakura check --json` reports this record (pretty-printed; `$DIR` is the fixture's directory):
