Continue?

Question

If continue is meant to continue loop if certain conditions are true, then why would we need it? as the loop will still continue wothout it?.
Please give an example. Thanks.

Answer 1

continue works as skip. if a certain condition is satisfied, then the current iteration will be skipped. For example,

for(int i=1; i<=5; i++){
if(i==4) continue;
System.out.print(i);
}

This code will print 1 2 3 5 (because 4 has been skipped here)

Answer 2

@Luka, As far as I can tell by reading this post, continue is used to skip some values between the start and end point. Am I correct?

Answer 3

Thanks.

Answer 4

continue skips everything remaining in the loop and restarts it from the top
