Explain the Continue statement - Computer Programming?
This is alike to break but is encountered less frequently. It merely works within loops where its effect is to force an immediate jump to the loop control statement.
In a while loop, jump to the test statement.
In a do while loop, jump to the test statement.
In a for loop, jump to the test, and perform the iteration.
The continue statement make the current iteration of a loop to stop and make the next iteration of the loop to begin immediately Like a break, continue should be protected by an if statement. It is wriiten simply as
continue;
The following code progression all characters except digits:
for(j=0;j
{
c=getchar();
if(( c > '0' )&&(c<='9'))
continue; /* continue transfers control to begin next iteration */
.................................
.................................
}
continue transfer the control to the beginning of the next iteration whereas break terminate the loop.
