Skipping Passes Through Loops

PRO

There may be times when you want to skip one pass through a loop. To do that, you can use the continue keyword:


for( let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  if (i === 3) {
      continue;
  }
    console.log(i);
}

In that example, we say that if our i variable is 3, we want to skip that pass of the loop. So, that loop will print four numbers to the console: 0, 1, 2, and 4.

If you have any questions about using continue, you can also read about it in this blog post.
