How to Use the Continue Statement in JavaScript

The JavaScript continue statement offers an easy way to stop the current iteration of a loop and start a new one. In other words, it skips any remaining statements in a loop body--where a for loop or a while loop--and returns to the top for another go-around.

Things You'll Need

• JavaScript editor

Instructions

Use the Continue Statement in JavaScript

1. Code the continue statement at the point in the loop's body where you want to stop processing and start the next iteration. Example:
   for floor=1; i<110; i++) {
if (floor == 13) continue;
stop_at_floor (floor);
}

Tips & Warnings

• It's sometimes easy to confuse continue with break. Remember that break exits the loop completely, whereas continue simply restarts the next iteration.
