Continue Statement in Java?

Question

What is the effect of putting a continue statement in a if statement, which is inside of a for each loop? Does it just go to next element?

Answer 1

The continue statement in a loop means "skip the rest of the statements in the loop and go to the next iteration".

Answer 2

the continue will tell the loop to skip the rest of the code in that loop and go on to the next loop

for example:

for(int i=0;i < 5;I++)
{

if(i % 2 == 0 )
{
continue;
}

System.out.println(i+"\n");
}

this would out put all the numbers from 0 to 4 skipping the even:

1
3
