So far in this course, you’ve been working with loops that operate over lists; in other words, your loop always goes from start to finish with no interruption.

var daysOfTheWeek = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday'];

for (var day in daysOfTheWeek) {
    print(day);
}

for (var day in daysOfTheWeek) {
    if (day == 'Thursday') {

    }
    print(day);
}

for (var day in daysOfTheWeek) {
    if (day == 'Thursday') {
        break;
    }
    print(day);
}

  for (var day in daysOfTheWeek) {
    if (day == 'Thursday') {
        continue;
    }
    print(day);
  }

var movieTwo = ['Jackie Chan', 'Alan Smithee', 'Sylvester Stallone'];
