break not work while looping with setTimeout

I’m looping over an array using a "for" loop.
I need to go through the loop at 2 second intervals.
Need to stop the loop if condition is met.
but I can’t stop the loop because it has "setTimeout".

let selects = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

for (let j =0; j < selects.length; j++) {
    task(j);
    if (j===5) { break; }
}

function task(i) {
    let tasker = setTimeout(function() {
      
      console.log("loop " + i)
        
    }, 2000 * i);
}

>Solution :

You are assigning a value to j, You need to use === or == instead of =

for (let j =0; j < selects.length; j++) {
    task(j);
    if (j === 5) { break; }
}
