PRDV401: Introduction to JavaScript I

In contrast to the break statement, continue does not terminate the execution of the loop entirely: instead,

• In a while loop, it jumps back to the condition.

• In a for loop, it jumps to the update expression.

The continue statement can include an optional label that allows the program to jump to the next iteration of a labeled loop statement instead of the current loop. In this case, the continue statement needs to be nested within this labeled statement.
