C++ continue Keyword
Example
Skip the iteration if the variable i is 4, but continue with the next iteration:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 4) {
continue;
}
cout << i << "\n";
}
Definition and Usage
The continue keyword is used to end the current iteration in a for loop (or a while loop), and continues to the next iteration.
More Examples
Example
Use the continue keyword in a while loop:
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
if (i == 4) {
i++;
continue;
}
cout << i << "\n";
i++;
}
