+[[Loop labels]]
+
+
+A loop can return values, it is an expression. Thus it can be used in an assignment as well.
+It is possible to `return ` but that would exit the function, instead we can also `break expression;` and return a value just from the loop by breaking it with a value (as we would normally write a `return`).
+
+```rust
+fn main() {
+    let mut counter = 0;
+
+    let result = loop {
+        counter += 1;
+
+        if counter == 10 {
+            break counter * 2;
+        }
+    };
+
+    println!("The result is {result}");
+}
+```
