Continue Statement in C++

The continue instruction causes the program to skip the rest of the loop in the present iteration as if the end of the statement block would have been reached, causing it to jump to the following iteration. For example, we are going to skip the number 5 in our countdown:

// Continue  loop example

#include <iostream.h>

int main ()

{

  for (int n=10; n>0; n--) {

    if (n==5) continue;

    cout << n << ", ";

  }

  cout << "FIRE!";

  return 0;

}

Output:

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIRE!
