break

break is used to exit from a switch-case, for, while, or do-while loop, bypassing the normal loop condition. It is also used to exit from a switch statement.
for (x = 0; x < 255; x++) {
    analogWrite(PWMpin, x);
    sens = analogRead(sensorPin);  
    if (sens > threshold) {      // bail out on sensor detect
        x = 0;
        break;
    }  
    delay(50);
}
