Description

The continue statement is used to skip the remainder of the current iteration of a for loop and jump directly to the next iteration.
This allows the loop to proceed without executing any further code in the current iteration.

When used with a label, continue behaves like a controlled goto, resuming execution at the beginning of the loop identified by the label.

⚠️ Restrictions:

• You cannot continue to a label outside of the current function.
  
• You cannot continue into or out of another function.
  

This ensures that loop control remains structured and predictable.

Examples

Example with nested loops using continue:

res={{
    i := 1;
    for i < 5 {
        "i="; i;
        j := 1;
        for j < 5 {
            j++;
            if j == i {
                continue;
            }
            "j="; j;
        }
        i++;
    }
}}.

res=i=1j=2j=3j=4j=5i=2j=3j=4j=5i=3j=2j=4j=5i=4j=2j=3j=5.
