The Continue Statement
The continue statement is used inside loops. When a continue statement is encountered inside a
loop, control of the program jumps to the beginning of the loop for next iteration, skipping the
execution of rest of the statements of the loop for the current iteration.
Syntax:
#loop statements
continue
#the code to be skipped
