Breaking a Foreach Loop?

Frank

Question

Hello everyone,
I found a post on "Breaking a Foreach Loop?". The answer to the programmer's post is below, but I am going to need to see an example of this. I do not know how to create two end nodes - one inside the foreach cycle and one after the foreach cycle. Please elaborate. Show an example on how to create two end nodes- one inside the foreach cycle and one after the foreach cycle. I need to know how to break a Foreach loop using the "IF" widget. This is a common need of me as a programmer.
Thanks, Frank

"you need to use two end nodes. One inside the foreach cycle, and one after the foreach cycle.
Cheers,
Lúcio"

Hey Antonio,
Thanks for your help on this. It was very perplexing. That is crazy! You need a second "End" widget to break the loop, so the "For Each" widget does not get confused. I had my arrows converging on to one "End" widget......wow. I don't know what to say. A lot of my Outsystems programming has my process flows converging to one "End" widget, so I do not crowd my pages with a bunch of "End" widgets. But the "For Each" loop needs special treatment.:):):) This issue was a hair-puller. Again, thanks for the help.

It's a good practise to add End elements as needed.
They do not consume Software units, and help avoid some eventually long connectors, thus increasing code readability. :)
