We can break both a $(selector).each() loop and a $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.
return false; // this is equivalent of 'break' for jQuery loop
return; // this is equivalent of 'continue' for jQuery loop
Note that $(selector).each() and $.each() are different functions.
