The continue Statement
Unlike the 'break' statement, the continue statement forces
the next iteration of the loop to take place and skips the
current iteration.
For example:
public class ContinueStatement
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i;
for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
if(i==5)
{
System.out.println("Loop is continued");
continue;
}
else
{
System.out.println("The value of i is: " + i);
}
}
}
}
In the preceding program, the 'continue' statement stops the execution of the iteration (i == 5)
of the 'for' loop. The 'for' loop will be executed normally for all other values of variable 'i'.
ERRORS IN JAVA
An error is an abnormal condition that can stop the execution of a program. There are three
types of errors in Java: syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors. Let us learn about
these in detail.
Syntax Errors
The errors that occur due to violation of rules of Java programming language are called
syntax errors. These are the most commonly occurring errors while developing programs
in Java. Syntax errors are also known as compile time errors. Programs containing syntax
errors do not compile. A missing semicolon at the end of a line or adding an extra bracket at
the end of a class may produce a syntax error.
