general. The key point here is that Wren *can* handle them in the rare cases

where you need them.

## Exiting a module early
|
||||
|
||||
Although the `return` statement is normally used to exit from a [method](classes.html#methods) or a [function](functions.html), it can also be used from a module's top-level code to exit the module. For example, if the script consists of a single module, this code would exit the module (and therefore the script) early:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre class="snippet">
|
||||
for (i in 1..2) {
|
||||
if (i == 2) return
|
||||
System.print(i) //> prints 1 but not 2
|
||||
}
|
||||
System.print(3) //> not reached
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Although it is not invalid to return a value, there is no way to access that value and it is therefore simply discarded.
