JavaScript continue statement

JavaScript continue statement is used to skip an iteration of a loop and continue to the next iteration. It is a way to interrupt the normal flow of a loop and continue with the next iteration, without terminating the loop.

The continue statement can be used in for, for...in, and while loops. It can be placed inside the loop body and can be used to skip certain iterations of the loop based on a certain condition.

Here's an example of how the continue statement can be used in a for loop:

1for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
2  if (i === 3) {
3    continue;
4  }
5  console.log(i);
6}
7
8// Output:
9// 0
10// 1
11// 2
12// 4

In the above example, the continue statement skips the iteration when i is equal to 3. As a result, the value 3 is not logged to the console.

It is important to use the continue statement with caution, as it can lead to unintended results if not used correctly. It should only be used when necessary and with a clear understanding of its effects.

JavaScript continue statement provides a way to skip certain iterations of a loop and continue to the next iteration, making it a useful tool for controlling the flow of a loop.
