MATLAB Continue Statement

MATLAB Loop Statements

The continue statement is used to pass control to the next iteration of a for or while loop.

The way MATLAB works with the continue statement is similar to the break statement. However, 'continue' does not force termination, but forces the next iteration of the loop to occur, skipping any intermediate code.

Create a script file and enter the following code-

a =　9;
% While loop execution
while a <　20
　　　a = a　+　1;　
　　　if a ==　15
　　　　　　% skip the iteration　
　　　　　　continue;
　　　end　
fprintf('value of a: %d\n', a);
end

value of a:　10
value of a:　11
value of a:　12
value of a:　13
value of a:　14
value of a:　16
value of a:　17
value of a:　18
value of a:　19
value of a:　20
