Can we use continue in the block of while loop?

Why this code not working: let I = 7; while (I) { if (I==3) continue; console.log(i—); }

Like this let i = 7; while(i > 0) { if(i == 3) { continue; } console.log(i--); }

After the i is a line and not 2 minuses (--) and another reason can be that you use capital I and lowercase i

Also I think it isn't neccessary, but you should put the "continue" statement into { }.

issue is continue will go back to the while loop and ‘i’ will never get to decrement, should be let i = 7; while(i==3) { i—; continue; } console.log(i—); } ✌🏻

You should use for cycle instead. for (let i = 7; i > 0; i--) { if (i == 3){continue;} console.log(i); }

agree, I just confused why it not working with while solution is need to use decrement two times
