Continue statement

A continue statement leads to the immediate next iteration of the surrounding loop construct. It is only allowed within a loop. A continue statement is syntactic sugar for a nested block:

  1. while expr1:
  2.   stmt1
  3.   continue
  4.   stmt2

Is equivalent to:

  1. while expr1:
  2.   block myBlockName:
  3.     stmt1
  4.     break myBlockName
  5.     stmt2
