Keyword continue

source ยท
Expand description

Skip to the next iteration of a loop.

When continue is encountered, the current iteration is terminated, returning control to the loop head, typically continuing with the next iteration.

// Printing odd numbers by skipping even ones
for number in 1..=10 {
    if number % 2 == 0 {
        continue;
    }
    println!("{number}");
}
Run

Like break, continue is normally associated with the innermost enclosing loop, but labels may be used to specify the affected loop.

// Print Odd numbers under 30 with unit <= 5
'tens: for ten in 0..3 {
    '_units: for unit in 0..=9 {
        if unit % 2 == 0 {
            continue;
        }
        if unit > 5 {
            continue 'tens;
        }
        println!("{}", ten * 10 + unit);
    }
}
Run
