continue

continue

            This statement is used to skip a part of loop for the current iteration and continue with the next iteration. This can be used within while, do-while, for. A continue statement ends the current iteration of a loop. Program control is passed from the continue statement to the end of the loop body. A continue statement can only appear within the body of an iterative statement. The continue statement ends the processing of the action part of an iterative (do, for, or while) statement and moves control to the loop continuation portion of the statement. For example, if the iterative statement is a for statement, control moves to the increment or update section and then to the test condition part of the loop.With in nested statements, the continue statement ends only the current iteration of the do, for, or while statement immediately enclosing it.

Syntax:-

continue;

Sample program to illustrate the break statement in single loop.

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

{

 int i;

 clrscr();

 for(i=1;i<=6;i++)

 {

  printf("%d",i);

  if(i>=3)

   continue;

  printf("hello \n");

 }

 printf("Out of loop..");

 getch();

}

Output

1hello

2hello

3

4

5

Out of loop..
