Get Google Sheets script to repeat the process until a certain value is reached

I am new to scripting and not sure how to approach that.

In short - I want the script to copy values from range L3:L118 to N3:N118 until a value of P3 (sum of differences between the 2 ranges) is 0.00. I managed to create a macro for the copying phase, however not sure how to loop it

Here is the code

function GetthepriceMK3() {
 var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
 spreadsheet.getRange('N3:N118').activate();
 spreadsheet.getRange('L3:L118').copyTo(spreadsheet.getActiveRange(), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
}

Would anyone be able to help with the loop? No idea how to start and the ifs

Collect sum of differences between L and N until sum equals v

function GetthepriceMK3() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
  const l = sh.getRange("L3:L118").getValues();
  const n = sh.getRange("N3:N118").getValues();
  let v = 0;
  let s = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < l.length; i++) {
    s += l[i][0] - n[i][0];
    if (s == v) {
      break;//stops the loop
    }
  }
  Logger.log(i);//row is i + 3
  Logger.log(s);
}
