continue

The continue keyword is used to skip one particular iteration if the specific condition is true.

Example:

package quipohouse;
public class ContinueStatement {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int i;
		for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
			if (i == 2) {
				continue;
			}
			System.out.println(i);
		}
	}
}

Output:

Key Point

Skips execution of the current iteration and moves to the next iteration.
Used inside loops (for, while, do-while).
Does not terminate the loop, unlike break.

Explanation:

1. The loop runs from i = 0 to i < 5.
2. When i == 2, the continue statement is triggered.
3. The loop skips printing 2 and continues with the next iteration.
