Java Language Tutorial => Continue Statement in Java

Example

The continue statement is used to skip the remaining steps in the current iteration and start with the next loop iteration. The control goes from the continue statement to the step value (increment or decrement), if any.

String[] programmers = {"Adrian", "Paul", "John", "Harry"};

    //john is not printed out
    for (String name : programmers) {
        if (name.equals("John"))
            continue;
        System.out.println(name);
    }

The continue statement can also make the control of the program shift to the step value (if any) of a named loop:

Outer: // The name of the outermost loop is kept here as 'Outer'
for(int i = 0; i < 5; )
{
    for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        continue Outer;
    }
}
