What is the “continue” keyword and how does it work in Java?

by

continue is kind of like goto. Are you familiar with break? It’s easier to think about them in contrast:

  • break terminates the loop (jumps to the code below it).

  • continue terminates the rest of the processing of the code within the loop for the current iteration, but continues the loop.
