SyntaxError.

continue statements can be used to continue a loop, and using them elsewhere is a syntax error. Alternatively, you can provide alabel to thecontinue statement to continue any loop with that label — however, if the label does not reference a containing statement, another errorSyntaxError: label not found will be thrown, and if the label references a statement that is not a loop, a syntax error is still thrown.

If you want to proceed with the next iteration in aforEach() loop, usereturn instead, or convert it to afor...of loop.

array.forEach((value) => {  if (value === 5) {    continue; // SyntaxError: continue must be inside loop  }  // do something with value});

array.forEach((value) => {  if (value === 5) {    return;  }  // do something with value});

for (const value of array) {  if (value === 5) {    continue;  }  // do something with value}
