Keywords in Julia are predefined words that have a definite meaning to the compiler. These keywords can’t be used to name variables.

'continue' keyword in Julia skips the statement immediately after the continue statement. Whenever the continue keyword is executed, the compiler immediately stops iterating over further values and sends the execution pointer back to the next iterating value in the loop.

Syntax:

loop condition
    statement
    statement
    continue
    statement
end

Example 1:




# Julia program to illustrate
# the use of 'continue' keyword
   
# Defining for-loop
for i in 1:10
    if iseven(i)
        # Using 'continue' keyword
        continue
    else
        println(i)
    end
end


Output:

1
3
5
7
9

Example 2:




# Julia program to illustrate
# the use of 'continue' keyword
   
i = 0
   
# Defining while-loop
while i < 10
    global i = i + 1
    if iseven(i)
        # Using 'continue' keyword
        continue
    else
        println(i)
    end
end


Output:

1
3
5
7
9
