Description

Stops the current iteration of a loop, and starts a new iteration.

Syntax

continue;

Remarks

The continue statement can only be used inside a while, for, or for..in loop. Executing the continue statement stops the current iteration of the loop and continues program flow with the beginning of the loop. This has the following effects on the different types of loops:

• while loops test their condition, and if true, execute the loop again.
• for loops execute their increment expression, and if the test expression is true, execute the loop again.
• for..in loops proceed to the next field of the specified variable and execute the loop again.
