Now, click on the A button in the Game Controls to view the output of further iteration of the while
loop. Notice that, when the index value is 4, the loop breaks and stops executing further.
Continue
The continue statement forces the next iteration of the loop to execute and skips the line of code
within the loop. While executing a program, if the program control encounters a continue statement,
the execution of the remaining statements inside the loop are skipped for the current iteration and
the control jumps to the beginning of the loop for the next iteration. The loop’s condition is checked
again and if it is true, then the control enters the loop, otherwise the control will be moved to the
statement immediately after the loop. For example, if you want to skip certain values but continue
looping, you use continue.
Let us create a project in MakeCode Arcade that demonstrate the use of continue block. Prepare the
project in MakeCode Arcade to display the numbers 0 to 9 but as soon as it reaches 3 it exits from
the loop as shown below:
