Lua in Neovim: Break and Nested Loops — Star Patterns & Finding Divisible Numbers | Episode 11

Take full control of loop flow! In this episode we use break to exit loops early, build star rectangle and triangle patterns with nested for loops, and find the first number divisible by both 7 and 13 — seeing that break only exits the innermost loop. Every keystroke is shown on screen with 3-second pauses so you can follow along at your own pace. What You'll Learn: - break — exit the current loop immediately - Nested for loops — a loop inside another loop - Star rectangle: outer loop rows, inner loop columns - Star triangle: inner loop count grows with outer counter - Finding the first number divisible by both 7 and 13 - break only exits the innermost loop Source Code: https://github.com/GoCelesteAI/learn-lua-in-neovim Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:12 Preview 0:44 Star Rectangle (nested for loops) 2:30 Star Triangle (inner loop varies) 4:22 Break (find first divisible by 7 and 13) 6:18 Recap 6:50 Endscreen Key Takeaways: 1. break exits the current loop immediately 2. Nested loops use one loop inside another 3. Each loop counter is independent and local 4. break only exits the innermost enclosing loop 5. Nested loops build grids, tables, and search patterns This is Episode 11 of the Learn Lua in Neovim series. New episodes cover functions, multiple returns, scope, and more — all coded inside Neovim.
