Continue Statement
-> We can use continue; statement inside loops to skip current iteration and continue for the next iteration.
Example:
class Test
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
for(int i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
if(i%2==0)
continue;
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
-> We can use continue; statement only inside loops. If we are using anywhere else, we'll get compile time error saying: continue outside of loop
Example:
class Test
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int x=10;
if(x==10)
continue;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
Labeled, break; & continue;
-> We can use labeled, break; & continue; to break or continue a particular loop in Nested loops.
Example:
class Test
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
L1:
for(................)
{
L2:
for(..............)
{
for(..........)
{
break L1;
break L2;
break;
}
}
}
}
}
Program:
class Test
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
l1:
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<3;j++)
{
if(i==j)
break;
System.out.println(i+".........."+j);
}
}
}
}
O/P
break;
1.........0
2.........0
2.........1
break l1;
No o/p
continue;
0.............1
0.............2
1..............0
1..............2
2...............0
2.................1
continue l1;
1............0
2.............0
2..............1
do-while() vs continue

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
