@pradnyan The break statement [0] only exits the for loop where it's present in
this the one where y is involved so the outer loop involving x will continue to
execute. So after every attempt where y = 0 the cnt value succeeds and breaks
out of the loop. I think this is a problem with the logic that you want to
refactor and not a problem with CPython.
def test():
cnt=0
for x in range(3216):
for y in range(2136):
cnt = cnt + 1
print("cnt="+str(cnt)+" y=" + str(y) + " x=" + str(x) )
if cnt > 2137 :
break # Break only out of "for y in in range(2136)"
In future reports please also don't add many people to the nosy list.
