---

The continue keyword can be used in any of the loop control structures. It causes the loop to immediately jump to the next iteration of the loop.

• In a for loop, the continue keyword causes control to immediately jump to the update statement.

• In a while loop or do/while loop, control immediately jumps to the Boolean expression.

Syntax

The syntax of a continue is a single statement inside any loop −

continue;

      for(int x : numbers ) {
         if( x == 30 ) {
            continue;
         }
         System.out.print( x );
