JavaScript continue Statement (Live Playground)

In this tutorial, we will explore the continue statement, and learn how to use it in our code.

continue Statement​

The continue statement is used to skip the current iteration and move on to the next one when a certain condition is met.

Example:

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i === 5) {
    continue;
  }
  console.log(`Iteration ${i + 1}`);
}

In the example above, the loop skips the iteration when i is equal to 5, and the output displays the iteration number from 1 to 10, excluding 6.
