`continue`

Skips the rest of the current loop iteration and proceeds to the next one.

Syntax

continue;
continue label;

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  if (i % 2 === 0) continue;
  console.log(i);
}

Output

1
3

let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
  i++;
  if (i === 3) continue;
  console.log(i);
}

Output

outer:
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
    if (j === 1) continue outer;
    console.log(i, j);
  }
}

Output

0 0
1 0
2 0

- In a `for` loop the update expression still runs after `continue`. - A labeled `continue` continues the next iteration of the labeled loop.
