C continue statement in C Language
Categories: C language
The continue statement in C language is used to bring the program control to the beginning of the loop. The continue statement skips some lines of code inside the loop and continues with the next iteration. It is mainly used for a condition so that we can skip some code for a particular condition.
Syntax:
//loop statements
continue;
//some lines of the code which is to be skipped
Continue statement example 1
#include<stdio.h>
void main ()
{
int i = 0;
while(i!=10)
{
printf("%d", i);
continue;
i++;
}
}
Output
infinite loop
Continue statement example 2
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int i=1;//initializing a local variable
//starting a loop from 1 to 10
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
if(i==5){//if value of i is equal to 5, it will continue the loop
continue;
}
printf("%d \n",i);
}//end of for loop
return 0;
}
