Start at both ends
The continue statement skips the current iteration in a loop. The remaining code in the iteration is skipped and processing moves to the next iteration..
for (let i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
if (i === 3) { continue; }
text += "The number is " + i + "<br>";
}A label provides a name for a statement, or a block of statements, allowing statements to be referenced to, for program flow control, particularly in loops.
A label is an identifier followed by a colon (
). labelname
statement
;A label precedes a statement or a block of code. labelname

};let text = "";
loop1: for (let j = 1; j < 5; j++) {
loop2: for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
if (i === 3) { continue loop1; }
text += i;
}
}let text = "";
loop1: for (let j = 1; j < 5; j++) {
loop2: for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
if (i === 3) { continue loop2
; }
text += i;
}
}
break and continue are the only JavaScript statements that can "jump out of" a code block.
