continue python for loop code example

Example 1: continue python

The continue statement in Python returns the control to the beginning of the 
while loop. The continue statement rejects all the remaining statements 
in the current iteration of the loop and moves the control back to the top of 
the loop.

The continue statement can be used in both while and for loops.

Example 2: python continue

for i in range(10):
  if i == 3: # skips if i is 3
    continue
  print(i)

Example 3: continue statement python

import numpy as np
values=np.arange(0,10)
for value in values:
  if value==3:
    continue
  elif value==8:
    print('Eight value')
  elif value==9:
    break

Example 4: python while continue

## When the program execution reaches a continue statement, 
## the program execution immediately jumps back to the start 
## of the loop.
while True:
    print('Who are you?')
    name = input()
    if name != 'Joe':
        continue
    print('Hello, Joe. What is the password? (It is a fish.)')
    password = input()
    if password == 'swordfish':
        break
print('Access granted.')

Example 5: python for continue

>>> for num in range(2, 10):
...     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 6: 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
