Continue Statement

Definitions

1. A language construct that skips the rest of the current loop iteration and immediately begins the next one. Continue statements are useful for early rejection of cases in loops, though overuse can make control flow harder to follow in long functions.

   In plain English: A statement that skips to the next loop iteration.

   Example: "The parser used a continue statement whenever it encountered blank lines so the main tokenization logic only handled meaningful input."
