Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn about the Python continue<\/code> statement and how to use it to control the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to the Python continue statement #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The continue<\/code> statement is used inside a for<\/a><\/code> loop or a while<\/a><\/code> loop. The continue<\/code> statement skips the current iteration and starts the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, you use the continue<\/code> statement with an if<\/code> statement<\/a> to skip the current iteration once a condition is True<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following shows how to use the continue<\/code> statement in a for<\/code> loop:<\/p>\n\n\n

for<\/span> index in<\/span> range(n):\n    if<\/span> condition:\n       continue<\/span>\n    # more code here<\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
And the following illustrates how to use the continue<\/code> statement in a while<\/code> loop:<\/p>\n\n\n
while<\/span> condition1:\n    if<\/span> condition2:\n        continue<\/span>\n    # more code here<\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Using Python continue in a for loop example #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The following example shows how to use the for<\/code> loop to display even numbers from 0 to 9:<\/p>\n\n\n
for<\/span> index in<\/span> range(10<\/span>):\n    if<\/span> index % 2<\/span>:\n        continue<\/span>\n\n    print(index)<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Output:<\/p>\n\n\n
0<\/span>\n2<\/span>\n4<\/span>\n6<\/span>\n8<\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
