5.2.3 continue

Syntax:

continue;

Purpose:

skips the rest of the innermost for or while loop und jumps to the beginning of the block. This command is only valid inside a for or a while construction.

Note:

Unlike the C-construct it does not execute the increment statement. The command continue is mainly for internal use.

Example:

for (int i = 1 ; i<=10; i=i+1) { … if (i==3) { i=8;continue; } // skip the rest if i is 3 and // continue with the next i: 8 i; } → 1 → 2 → 8 → 9 → 10
