why are the outputs of these two codes starting from different digits?

int num = 5; while (num > 0) { if (num == 3) break; printf("%d\n", num); num--; } int num = 5; while (num >0){ if (num ==3) continue; printf("%d\n",num); num--; }

break means stop the loop. there's no next itteration, just stop. continue means skip this one. but the next one still able to run

here is the thing while(num>0){ if(num==3) continue; num--; } when ever the num reach 3, it'll hit continue and skip the decrement part, and still at 3. then at thenext itteration it'll hit continue again and skip decrement part. its neverending loop.
