The continue statement passes control to the test portion of the immediately enclosing while, do, or for statement. Syntax: continue ; In each of the following statements, a continue statement is equivalent to "goto label;": while (expression) { statement ... label: ; } do { statement ... label: ; } while (expression); for (expression; expression; expression) { statement ... label: ; } The continue statement is not intended for switches. A continue statement inside a switch statement inside a loop causes reiteration of the loop.
