Continue Statement in Java

The Continue Statement in Java is used to continue loop. It is widely used inside loops. Whenever the continue statement is encountered inside a loop, control immediately jumps to the beginning of the loop for next iteration by skipping the execution of statements inside the body of loop for the current iteration.

Syntax:

continue;

Sample Program:

package ClassThreeControlFlowStatements;

public class ContinueStatement {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		for (int i=1; i<=10; i++)
		{			
			/* I have mentioned continue statement inside if condition where i is equal to 4
			 * if i value is equal to 4 then the control goes to continue statement and 
			 * the control jumps at the begining of for loop for next iteration without executing 
			 * print statement. 
			 * So, the output "Value of i is 4" wont display in the console. */
					
			if (i==4)
	        {
				continue;
	        }
			
	        System.out.println("Value of i is "+i);
		
		}
		
	}

}

package ClassThreeControlFlowStatements;

public class ContinueStatement {

public static void main(String[] args) {

for (int i=1; i<=10; i++)

{

/* I have mentioned continue statement inside if condition where i is equal to 4

* if i value is equal to 4 then the control goes to continue statement and

* the control jumps at the begining of for loop for next iteration without executing

* print statement.

* So, the output "Value of i is 4" wont display in the console. */

if (i==4)

{

continue;

}

System.out.println("Value of i is "+i);

}
