The continue
statement is used to change the order of execution within a loop. The continue
statement can be used inside a for
loop or a while
loop. The syntax for its use is
continue
inside the body of the loop. The continue
statement forces execution to start at the top of the loop with the next iteration. The examples section shows how the continue
statement works.
Here is a simple example of using a continue
statement. We want to sum the integers from 1
to 10
, but not the number 5
. We will use a for
loop and a continue statement.
continue_ex.m
function accum = continue_ex accum = 0; for i=1:10 if (i==5) continue; end accum = accum + 1; %skipped if i == 5! end
The function is exercised here:
--> continue_ex ans = 9 --> sum([1:4,6:10]) ans = 50
