In the situation where I am looping through a collection looking for an item, is it better practice to break before I return or should I break and then return?Return during loop:foreach(string item in items){    string[] split = item.Split('|');    if(split[0] == searchFor)        return split[1];}return null;Break then return:string result = null;foreach(string item in items){    string[] split = item.Split('|');    if(split[0] == searchFor)    {        result = split[1];        break;    }}return result;

If you break, you need to introduce an additional variable.  In my opinion, it's more clear to return as soon as possible from any function.
