The continue statement is a control statement which is used to skip the following statement in the body of the loop and continue with the next iteration of the loop.
1. Unlabeled continue statement: is used to skip the following statement in the body of the loop when specific condition returns true.
2. Labeled continue Statement: is used to skip the following statement in the body of the specific loop based on the label when specific condition returns true.
Label1:
for( initialization; condition; statement){
Label2:
for( initialization; condition; statement){
//Block of statements
if(condition){
continue Label1;
}
}
}
