lua next loop code example

Example: continue in lua

-- Lua has no continue statement because it's designed to
-- be lightweight. Use goto instead:

arr = {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8}

for key, val in ipairs(arr) do
  if val > 6 then
     goto skip_to_next
  end
  -- perform some calculation
  
  ::skip_to_next::
end
