How to stop executing a loop (say if loop once it finds a match) in Protractor for AngularJS applications?

I am writing test cases using protractor for AngularJS Application. I want to stop an if loop once it finds the value. Is there any equivalent function available that I can use to stop executing the loop further in Protractor, like we have break in C.

break is a javascript instruction:

function testBreak(x) {
   var i = 0;
   while (i < 6) {
      if (i == 3) {
         break;
      }
      i += 1;
   }
   return i * x;
}

A complete reference of the language is available on the mozilla developer network with a list of all the statements.

JavaScript borrows most of its syntax from Java, but also inherits from Awk and Perl, with some indirect influence from Self in its object prototype system.
