Do you want to "jump to the end of that loop" so as to exit?
If so, use the "exit" statement, perhaps with the "when" modifier.

Do you want to skip over all the statements after a given condition
occurs and cycle back to the top of the loop?
If so, use an "if" statement and place all the conditionally executed
statements within it.
