JavaScript continue statement

　JavaScript Statements and Variable Declarations

continuestatement terminates the current loop or the execution of the statement in the current iteration of the loop, and continues the loop on the next iteration.

WithbreakIn contrast to the break statement, continue does not completely terminate the execution of the loop:

• InwhileIn the loop, test the condition, and if the condition is true, execute the loop again

• InforFirst, calculate the increment expression (for example, i++), then test the condition to determine whether another iteration should be executed

continue statement can include an optionallabel, thelabelAllows the program to jump to the next iteration of a labeled loop statement instead of the current iteration. In this case, the continue statement must be nested within the labeled statement.

continue label;

var text = "";
for (let i = 0;　6; i++) {
if (i ===　3) {
　　　continue;
}
text　+= "The number is "　+　i　+　"<br>";
}
