Continue statement

Continue statement

The continue statement passes control to the next iteration inside a loop.

In this example, when the value of i is 2, the next statement within the loop is skipped.

Note: When you execute a continue statement, you're effectively bypassing whatever code comes after it (in terms of execution) within the loop. This, along with the break statement, are very useful when working with loops.

Example

int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
  if( i == 2)
  {
    continue;
  }
  Console.WriteLine("Item on index {0} is {1}", i, array[i]);
}

Output:

> Item on index 0 is 1
> Item on index 1 is 2
> Item on index 3 is 4
> Item on index 4 is 5
