Name Rascal/Statements/Continue

Synopsis Continue with the next iteration of while, do or for loop.

Syntax continue;

Description A continue statement is only allowed inside the body of a While, Do or For statement and is associated with the innermost loop statement in which it is contained. Its effect is to end the execution of the block for the current iteration of the loop and to continue with the next iteration of the loop.

Also see Break and Fail.

Examples Here is an example using continue to avoid printing numbers that are divisible by 3:

rascal>import IO;
ok
rascal>for(int i <- [1 .. 10]){
>>>>>>>    if(i % 3 == 0)
>>>>>>>       continue;
>>>>>>>    println("i = <i>");
>>>>>>>}
i = 1
i = 2
i = 4
i = 5
i = 7
i = 8
list[void]: []
