INTRODUCTION
Java Continue Statement
The continue statement is used in loop control structure when you need to jump to
the next iteration of the loop immediately. It can be used with for loop or while
loop.

The Java continue statement is used to continue the loop. It continues the current
flow of the program and skips the remaining code at the specified condition. In
case of an inner loop, it continues the inner loop only.

We can use Java continue statement in all types of loops such as for loop, while
loop and do-while loop.

i.e

jump-statement;
continue;

ILLUSTRATION ON HOW JAVA CONTINUE STATEMENT IS


USED AND THE OUTPUT
ContinueExample.java

//Java Program to demonstrate the use of continue statement


//inside the for loop.
public class ContinueExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//for loop
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
if(i==5){
//using continue statement
continue;//it will skip the rest statement
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

THE OUTPUT:
1
2
3
4
6
7
8
9
10

As you can see in the above output, 5 is not printed on the console. It is because the
loop is continued when it reaches to 5.
LABELS
A Label object is a component for placing text in a container. A label displays a
single line of read-only text. The text can be changed by the application, but a user
cannot edit it directly.

JAVA CONTINUE STATEMENT WITH LABEL


We can use continue statement with a label. This feature is introduced since JDK
1.5. So, we can continue any loop in Java now whether it is outer loop or inner.

example of java continue statement with labelled for loop

ContinueExample3.java

//Java Program to illustrate the use of continue statement


//with label inside an inner loop to continue outer loop
public class ContinueExample3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
aa:
for(int i=1;i<=3;i++){
bb:
for(int j=1;j<=3;j++){
if(i==2&&j==2){
//using continue statement with label
continue aa;
}
System.out.println(i+" "+j);
}
}
}
}

THE OUTPUT:

1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
3 1
3 2
3 3

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTINOUS AND A LABELED CONTINOUS

An unlabelled continue is used to skip the iteration of the nearest closing loop but
labeled continue is used to skip the iteration of the desired closing loop.
SUMMARY
 A continue goes to the end of the loop in which it resides.

 A break exits the loop in which it resides.

 A labelled break exits (goes to the end of) the labelled block
