    Here's the fastest solution for JavaScript. It will solve this for 600851475143 in just 0.00001s.

| Apr 26, 2019 at 11:33 | comment | added | Arthur | No worries. Knowing that any scope runs until the end is a known aesthetic goal when coding, and people who try to achieve that would probably also do something exactly like that. So I don't think it's that bad, really. And it's not like a single assignment rather than a break would tax the processor much, and a clever compiler might even optimise it away. | |

    "//to break the for loop" Doesn't Javascript have a break?
