Java continue Statement

Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn Java continue statement. When a continue statement is executed the loop iteration is skipped.

continue statement

continue is used to skip iterations in a loop if a specific condition is satisfied. For example, in the below program we will skip the for loop when i is even number.

public class ContinueDemo {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
 if (i % 2 ==0) {
 continue; // This will skip when i is even
 }
 System.out.println("i=" +i);
 } 
 }
}
