how to break out from outer each loop

I have the following scenario:

$.each(array, function() {
    ...
    $.each(array1, function() {
        if condition () { }
    });
});

How can I break out of outer each loop when my condition evaluates to true inside the inner each loop?

Set a value to test in the outer loop to exit

$.each(array, function() {
    var exit = false;
    $.each(array1, function() {
        if ( condition ) { 
           exit = true;
           return false;
        }
    }
    if (exit){
        return false;
    }
}

$.each(array, function() {
    var flag = true;

    $.each(array1, function() {
        if (condition) {
            flag = false;
            return false;
        }
    });

    return flag;
});
