Continue Statement – It is used for returning control to loop for next increment 

package practice;

public class ContinueStatment {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

            if (i == 3) {
                continue;
            }

            System.out.println(i);
        }

    }

}

Explanation – once i become 3 the loop will not print 3 , instead it will increment i and print 4.

• The loop runs from i = 0 to i < 5 (i.e. 0 to 4).

• Inside the loop:

  • If i == 3, the continue statement is executed.

  • continue skips the rest of the loop body for that iteration and jumps to the next iteration.

• So, when i == 3, System.out.println(i) is skipped.
