Thus, continue is essentially the complement of break. For example, the following program uses continue to help print the even numbers between 0 and 100:

Only even numbers are printed, because an odd one will cause the loop to iterate early, bypassing the call to println( ).

In while and do-while loops, a continue statement will cause ...
