8.9.2 The continue statement

The continue statement starts a new iteration of the nearest enclosing while, do, for, or foreach statement.

continue-statement:
continue ;

The target of a continue statement is the end point of the embedded statement of the nearest enclosing while, do, for, or foreach statement. If a continue statement is not enclosed by a while, do, for, or foreach statement, a compile-time error occurs.

When multiple while, do, for, or foreach statements are nested within each other, a continue statement applies only to the innermost statement. To transfer control across multiple nesting levels, a goto statement (§8.9.3) must be used.

A continue statement cannot exit a finally block (§8.10). When a continue statement occurs within a finally block, the target of the continue statement must be within the same finally block, or otherwise a compile-time error occurs.

A continue statement is executed as follows:

Because a continue statement unconditionally transfers control elsewhere, the end point of a continue statement is never reachable.
