JavaScript continue Statement

The continue statement in JavaScript is used within loops to skip the rest of the code in the current iteration and immediately proceed to the next iteration.

Key Takeaways

• continue skips only the current iteration of a loop.
• Works with for, while, and do...while loops.
• Useful for ignoring specific conditions inside a loop.
• Labeled continue helps manage nested loop control.
• Use with care—overusing can reduce code readability.
