How to exit from the execution of jquery code?

I have multiple (10) if statemnets stacked in a function, and need something like this: 

$len=$("#user").val().length;
   if($len == 0) { do something and then - stop, exit, break ... whatever)

So, if $len is 0 - do something and - dont check anything more. Just exit from the execution.

Just use this...

$len=$("#user").val().length;
if($len == 0) { return false; }

I am returning false to make sure the event which invoked the function won't run anymore.

You can use return statement but it will take the execution control at end of function and skip all the statements between. or use if-else block or use switch.

if($len == 0) {

   do something and then - stop, exit, break ... whatever
   return;
)

Use if-else

if($len == 0) {

   do something and then - stop, exit, break ... whatever
   return;
)
else
if($len == 1) {

   do something and then - stop, exit, break ... whatever
   return;
)
//repeate if else

Using switch

switch($len)
{
 case 0:
  //execute code block 1
  break;
case 1:
  //execute code block 1
  break;
case 2:
  //execute code block 2
  break;
default:
  code to be executed if n is different from case 1 and 2
}
