The Continue Statement
The continue statement is used inside loops. The continue statement skips the current iteration of a loop
and jumps to the beginning of the next iteration. It means when a continue statement is encountered
inside a loop, control of the program jumps to the beginning of the loop for next iteration, skipping the
execution of rest of the statements of the loop for the current iteration.
Syntax:
#loop statements
continue
#the code to be skipped
