`EXIT FOR` terminates the execution of the nearest enclosing `FOR EACH … IN … NEXT` loop prematurely. When the interpreter encounters `EXIT FOR`, it stops iterating over the collection and continues execution after the `NEXT` statement that matches the loop variable.
**Example**
```basic
FOR EACH item IN my_list
IF item = "stop" THEN
EXIT FOR
ENDIF
TALK item
NEXT item
TALK "Loop ended."
```
In this script, the loop stops as soon as `item` equals `"stop"`, and the subsequent `TALK "Loop ended."` is executed.
**Usage Notes**
-`EXIT FOR` can only be used inside a `FOR EACH … IN … NEXT` block.
- It does not accept any parameters; it simply signals an early exit.
- The keyword is case‑insensitive; `exit for` works the same way.
