'continue' statement in C

How continue statement look like

loop_name(test condition)
   {
      // loop body
      continue;
   }

Try to find output...?

Flow of continue; statement

Let's Know continue; statement

• Continue state that skip the following statements and continue with the next iteration.
• Continue statement can be with all kind of loops available in c programming.
• Continue statement can be used with or without condition checking statement.
• The combination of for statement and continue; statement performs excellent result in programming.
• Basically continue; statement is used in loop where we need to skip some statement based on some conditions.
• Let’s see various examples to understand how we can make best use of continue statement.

C contunue statement example with for loop

white a program to find all even number between 1 to 20.

Note: This problem can in differents way, but here we are going to use for loop and continue statemen to solve above problem.

Output

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

Explanation

In above example when the for condition i!=0 is true then the body of for loop will execute and within the body of for loop there is continue; statement which will immediate enforce to the control to start next iteration without execute all other statement which are below the continue statement in the loop.

C contunue statement example with while loop

Let's see the some problem solution with while loop and continue statement.

Output

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

Explanation

In while loop, have incremented the value of variable i in both condition either for condition is true or false. If for condition is true then first the value of variable i will be incremented by 1 and then continue statement executed, so in this way we can perform increment operation in both condition.

Note: Just similar to for and while loop we can use continue statement in do while loop, so try to practice with all kind of loop.
