A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

That was confusing…
```
    listOf(1,2,3,4,5).forEach {
        if (it &gt; 3) //actually evaluates 5 times
        	return@forEach
    }
```
Any way to stop `forEach` without using the label?

if you need the first item which meets a condition, why not use `firstOrNull`?

In the real code it’s a bit more complex

```
listOf(errorResolutions).forEach{
  if (it.resolvesError()) {
     return@foreEach
  }
}
```

So the idea was to stop checking if error was resolved by one of the resolutions

maybe `.takeWhile {}`  or I'm pretty sure `.any{}` will stop as soon as one is found

Note that the lambda in your initial example is actually run 5 times. For breaking out of the foreach entirely you need something like the last sample here:  <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/returns.html>

Which is ugly as f... Personally I would prefer the loop + break

I actually like the `takeWhile {}` suggestion
I think it will work perfectly in this case

<@U0MMYM2A3> These are good suggestions and way to go, however you initial conclusion was wrong - it’s evaluates 3 times - take a look:

No,  you just print it 3 times, but block will be called 5 times. Just move println above `return` to check it

I see what you mean. I think this is the issue to vote for <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-1436>
