There is something curious in the generated code.

ChatGPT uses the EXIT keyword instead of the BREAK keyword, which is a 
synonymous.

But the EXIT keyword is not documented anywhere in the Gambas 
documentation. And as far as I searched with Google, I didn't find it 
either in any page about Gambas.

So, how could ChatGPT use it if it would be fed by Internet only? Is it 
the same system that produces code and text?

I am suspicious. As usual. :-)
