to pass on to the beginning of the block/loop. In the case of for loop, the continue case
initiates the testing condition and increment on steps has to be executed (while rest of the state-
ment following the continue are neglected). For while and do-while, the continue
case causes control to pass on to conditional tests. It is useful in a programming situation
where it is required that particular iterations occur only up to some extent or when some part
of the code has to be neglected. The programs on continue are explained in the control loop
chapter.
