Keyword continue

source · []
Expand description

Skip to the next iteration of a loop.

When continue is encountered, the current iteration is terminated, returning control to the loop head, typically continuing with the next iteration.

 // Printing odd numbers by skipping even ones
 for number in 1..=10 {
     if number % 2 == 0 {
         continue;
     }
     println!("{}", number);
 }
Run

Like break, continue is normally associated with the innermost enclosing loop, but labels may be used to specify the affected loop.

 // Print Odd numbers under 30 with unit <= 5
 'tens: for ten in 0..3 {
     '_units: for unit in 0..=9 {
         if unit % 2 == 0 {
             continue;
         }
         if unit > 5 {
             continue 'tens;
         }
         println!("{}", ten * 10 + unit);
     }
 }
Run
