Loop Control Statements:
Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all automatic
objects that were created in that scope are destroyed. As such, Scala does not support
break or continue statement like Java does, but starting from Scala version 2.8, there is a way to break the loops.

Control Statement
break statement
Description
Terminates the loop statement and transfers execution to the statement
immediately following the loop.
break statement
As such there is no built-in break statement available in Scala, but if you are running Scala version 2.8, then there is
a way to use break statement. When the break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately
terminated and program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.
Syntax:
The syntax of a break statement is bit unusual but it works:
// import following package
import scala.util.control._
// create a Breaks object as follows
val loop = new Breaks;
// Keep the loop inside breakable as follows
loop.breakable{
// Loop will go here
for(...){
....
// Break will go here
loop.break;
}
}
