[Newbies] Does Smalltalk have "break" method to jump out of a loop ?

There is none because there are no loops just message sends. What we have is the return statement that exits the whole method, which is oftenn used instead. If you post your Smalltalk code with a break statement I can show you how I would rewrite it to be idiomatic Smalltalk.

Cheers,
