Continue Statement In Java

Continue Statement

The continue statement is used to continue the execution of loop.

In while and do-while loops , a continue statement transfer control to the conditional expression that controls the loop.

In for loop , first control goes to the increment/decrements portion and the goes to the expression.

Simple Program for Continue Statement

package org.modi;
public class Test
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
      {
         System.out.print( i+" " );
         if(i%2==0)
            continue;
         System.out.println("");
      }
  }
}

OUTPUT

0 1 
2 3 
4 5 
6 7 
8 9 

From program we can see that when continue statement encountered then first the control goes to the increment/decrements and then goes to expression.
