Continue Statement - C++ Control Structures
Using Continue Statement in C++?
How to skip current iteration of a loop?
Explanation
Continue statement is used to skip the code after the "continue" and go ahead with the next iteration of a loop.
The "break" statement terminates the current statement, but a "continue" statement terminates the current iteration of a loop by not executing statements after it.
continue;
Result :
Enter a Integer::3
Value of i is:: 3
SKIPPED
Value of i is:: 1
Not skipped
Exited Loop
In the above example only when the value of i is 2 the "cout" statement with message "skipped" is executed, and the "cout" statement with the message is skipped.
Difference between "break" and "continue":
The "break" statement terminates the current statement, but a "continue" statement terminates the current iteration of a loop by not executing statements after it.
Syntax:
continue;
Example :
| #include <iostream.h> void main() { int i; cout << "Enter a integer::" << '\n'; cin >> i; while(i >0) { cout << "Value of i is::" << i < if (i==2) { cout << "SKIPPED\n"; continue; } cout<<"Not Skipped"< cout << "Exited Loop" << '\n' ; } |
Result :
Enter a Integer::3
Value of i is:: 3
SKIPPED
Value of i is:: 1
Not skipped
Exited Loop
In the above example only when the value of i is 2 the "cout" statement with message "skipped" is executed, and the "cout" statement with the message is skipped.
