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 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.
