Java continue Keyword

Skip the iteration if the variable i is 4, but continue with the next iteration:

java

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i == 4) {
    continue;
  }
  System.out.println(i);
}

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.

java

int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
  if (i == 4) {
    i++;
    continue;
  }
  System.out.println(i);
  i++;
}

Use the continue keyword in a while loop

Use the break keyword to break out of a loop.
