Go to next iteration in JavaScript forEach loop

Question

How do I go to the next iteration of a JavaScript Array forEach   loop   For example   var myArr    1  2  3  4    myArr forEach function elem     if  elem     3           Go to  next  iteration  Or  continue  to next iteration           console log elem         MDN docs only mention breaking out of the loop entirely  not moving to next iteration

You can simply return if you want to skip the current iteration   Since you re in a function  if you return before doing anything else  then you have effectively skipped execution of the code below the return statement

just return true inside your if statement   var myArr    1 2 3 4    myArr forEach function elem     if  elem     3           return true          Go to  next  iteration  Or  continue  to next iteration           console log elem

JavaScript s forEach works a bit different from how one might be used to from other languages for each loops  If reading on the MDN  it says that a function is executed for each of the elements in the array  in ascending order  To continue to the next element  that is  run the next function  you can simply return the current function without having it do any computation   Adding a return and it will go to the next run of the loop    x000D   x000D  var myArr    1 2 3 4   x000D   x000D  myArr forEach function elem   x000D    if  elem     3    x000D      return  x000D      x000D   x000D    console log elem   x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D    Output  1  2  4
