continue statement

• The continue statement causes next loop iteration to begin:
  • Inside while loop this means that the test part is executed immediately;

  • Inside for, control passes to the increment step.

• The continue statement applies only to loops, not to switch.
• For example,

          for ( i = 0; i < n; ++i ) {
              int result = get_data( i );
              if ( result < 0 ) // skip negative values
                  continue;
              // process zero and positive values...
          }
