continue statement forces an early iteration of a loop.
In while and do-while loops, a continue statement causes control to be transferred to the conditional expression that controls the loop.
In a for loop, control goes first to the iteration portion of the for statement and then to the conditional expression.
The following code shows how to use a continue statement.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.print(i + " ");
if (i % 2 == 0)
continue;
System.out.println("");
}
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
0 1
2 3
4 5
6 7
8 9
