...     if num % 2 == 0:
...         print("Found an even number", num)
...         continue
...     print("Found a number", num)
Found an even number 2
Found a number 3
Found an even number 4
Found a number 5
Found an even number 6
Found a number 7
Found an even number 8
Found a number 9

Example 5: python continue

nums = [7,3,-1,8,-9]
positive_nums = []

for num in nums:
    if num < 0: #skips to the next iteration
        continue
    positive_nums.append(num)
        
print(positive_nums) # 7,3,8

Example 6: python break continue

words = ["rain", "sun", "moon", "exit", "weather"]
  
for word in words:
        #checking for the breaking condition
        if word == "exit" :
                #if the condition is true, then break the loop
                break;
        if word == "moon" :
                #this statement will be executed
                print("moon is skipped")
                continue
                #this statement won't be executed
                print ("This won't be printed")  
        #Otherwise, print the word
        print (word)
