Why Continue Statements Are Bad in JavaScript
The usage of “continue” statement makes the code difficult to understand. In most cases, the usage of continue would mean you have an insufficient condition in your loop. To avoid this, you can add it to the condition itself or use if in a loop.
But, “continue” is bad if it is used inconsistently or improperly, else it is a useful statement and saves a lot of memory and lines of code.
Example
Let’s see an example of continue statement
<html>
<body>
<script>
var x = 1;
document.write("Entering the loop<br /> ");
while (x < 10) {
x = x + 1;
if (x == 5) {
continue; // skip rest of the loop body
}
document.write( x + "<br />");
}
document.write("Exiting the loop!<br /> ");
</script>
</body>
</html>
