Continue statement in Javascript - Cheat Sheet & Quick Revision

Recall & Review

beginner

What does the continue statement do in a loop?

It skips the rest of the current loop iteration and moves to the next iteration immediately.

beginner

In which types of loops can you use the continue statement in JavaScript?

You can use continue in for, while, and do...while loops.

intermediate

What happens if continue is used inside a nested loop?

It only skips the current iteration of the innermost loop where it is used, not outer loops.

beginner

How is continue different from break in loops?

continue skips to the next iteration, while break exits the entire loop immediately.

Example: What will this code output?<br><pre>for(let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {<br>  if(i === 3) continue;<br>  console.log(i);<br>}</pre>

It will print:<br>1<br>2<br>4<br>5<br>The number 3 is skipped because continue skips that iteration.

What does the continue statement do inside a loop?

A Skips the rest of the current iteration and moves to the next iteration

B Exits the entire loop immediately

C Restarts the whole program

D Pauses the loop for a moment

continue skips the rest of the current loop iteration and continues with the next one.

In which loop types can you use continue in JavaScript?

A <code>for</code>, <code>while</code>, and <code>do...while</code> loops

B Only <code>while</code> loops

C Only <code>for</code> loops

D Only <code>do...while</code> loops

continue works in all three loop types: for, while, and do...while.

What happens if continue is used inside a nested loop?

A It skips the current iteration of the outer loop

B It skips the current iteration of the innermost loop where it is used

C It exits all loops immediately

D It restarts the outer loop

continue affects only the innermost loop it is inside, skipping its current iteration.

Which statement immediately exits the entire loop?

A continue

B exit

C return

D break

break exits the entire loop immediately, unlike continue which skips only the current iteration.

What will this code print?<br>

for(let i=0; i<4; i++) {<br>  if(i === 2) continue;<br>  console.log(i);<br>}

A 0 1 2 3

B 1 2 3

C 0 1 3

D 2 3

The number 2 is skipped because continue skips that iteration, so output is 0, 1, and 3.

Explain how the continue statement changes the flow inside a loop.

Think about what happens when you want to skip some steps but keep looping.

Describe the difference between continue and break in loops.

One skips steps, the other stops completely.
