continue                 continue Statement

 continue;

    The  continue  statement  terminates  the  execution  of  the   current
    iteration of the `do', `for' or `while' statement in which it  appears,
    any remaining statements in the loop body are skipped.  In do and while
    loops,  control  is  transferred   to  the  do  or   while  controlling
    expression.    With   the  `for'  loop,   control  is  passed   to  the
    termination-condition test.

      Notes:    There is distinct difference between the effects of `break'
                and `continue':  `break'  actually exits the loop,  whereas
                continue  skips  the  remainder   of  the  body  for   this
                iteration, and then continues the loop with the next
                iteration.

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

           while ( i-- > 0 ) {
               if ( condition )
                   continue;
               ...       /* Continue causes these statements to be skipped */
               ...              when condition is TRUE                     */
               ...
           }
