The for loop will print the numbers from 0 to 6 because as soon as the number reaches 7, the
                  break statement is executed, stopping the loop.

                  THE continue STATEMENT

                  The continue statement causes the program to skip the rest of the statement of the current block
                  and move to the next iteration of the loop. It immediately transfers control to the evaluation of the
                  test expression of the loop for the next iteration of the loop.

                  Program 10: To demonstrate the use of the continue statement in a loop

                      Program10.py
                   File  Edit  Format    Run   Options   Window    Help

                   #Program to show the use of the continue statement
                   for number in range(0, 12):
                       if(number == 8):
                           continue
                       print('Number is:', number)
                   print('Out of loop')



                  On running the above program, we get the following output:


                      Output

                   Number is: 0
                   Number is: 1
                   Number is: 2
                   Number is: 3
                   Number is: 4
                   Number is: 5
                   Number is: 6
                   Number is: 7
                   Number is: 9
                   Number is: 10
                   Number is: 11
                   Out of loop



                  The example above prints all the numbers except 8 because when the value of number is equal
                  to 8, the continue statement placed inside the if statement will force the program to skip the
                  iteration.
