continue (C# Reference)
The continue statement passes control to the next iteration of the enclosing iteration statement in which it appears.
Example
In this example, a counter is initialized to count from 1 to 10. By using the continue statement in conjunction with the expression (i < 9), the statements between continue and the end of the for body are skipped in the iterations where i is less than 9. In the last two iterations of the for loop (where i == 9 and i == 10), the continue statement is not executed and the value of i is printed to the console.
class ContinueTest
{
static void Main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
if (i < 9)
{
continue;
}
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
// Keep the console open in debug mode.
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/*
Output:
9
10
*/
