These would make sense as illustrated alternatives if Rosetta encourages that,
but it seems the plan of this site is to solve a specific task in a specific
way. Depends on how /essential/ it is to have the "break" operator as part of
the solution; it is asking for a loop with a break...
Interesting now the question (this particular one) is couched in terms that
make sense for "ordinary" languages. If the question was to NOT print the
first number if it's found to be 10, it would be even easier
while write(10 ~= ?20 - 1, "\n", ?20 - 1)
Funny how language influences the sort of question you think to ask!
