Thecontinue statement causes a jump, as if bygoto, to the end of the loop body (it may only appear within the loop body offor,while, anddo-while loops).
Forwhile loop, it acts as
while(/* ... */){// ...continue;// acts as goto contin;// ... contin:;}
Fordo-while loop, it acts as:
do{// ...continue;// acts as goto contin;// ... contin:;}while(/* ... */);
Forfor loop, it acts as:
for(/* ... */){// ...continue;// acts as goto contin;// ... contin:;}
#include <stdio.h> int main(void){for(int i=0; i<10; i++){if(i!=5)continue;printf("%d ", i);// this statement is skipped each time i != 5} printf("\n"); for(int j=0; j<2; j++){for(int k=0; k<5; k++){// only this loop is affected by continueif(k==3)continue;printf("%d%d ", j, k);// this statement is skipped each time k == 3}}}
Output:
500 01 02 04 10 11 12 14
