The loop control statement continue abandons the pending statements in current iteration of the looping block and starts next iteration. The continue statement appears in a conditional block inside loop
Example
x=0 while x<10: x=x+1 if x==5: continue print ('x=',x)
The output shows that when x is 5 the print statement is not executed and next iteration is undertaken printing from x=6 onwards
Output
x= 1 x= 2 x= 3 x= 4 x= 6 x= 7 x= 8 x= 9 x= 10
