Fig 11.5: Working of continue statement
As the control moves to the next iteration, firstly, the loop variable is updated with the next value in the sequence
or range. Thereafter, if the updated loop variable is within the range/ sequence or if the test condition is True, the
execution of the statements in the body of the loop takes place. Consider the examples given below, that explain the
working of continue statement in for loop and while loop.

for x in range(1, 5): num = 5
if x == 3: while num <= 10:
continue if num % 4 == 0:
else: num = num + 1
print(x) continue
print('Over') else:
print(num * num)
num = num + 1
print("Done")

Output: Output:
1 25
2 36
4 49
Over 81
100
Done

break and continue statements are usually part of the body of the if statement.
