# [−]Keyword continue

Skip to the next iteration of a loop.

When `continue` is encountered, the current iteration is terminated, returning control to the loop head, typically continuing with the next iteration.

     // Printing odd numbers by skipping even ones
     for number in 1..=10 {
         if number % 2 == 0 {
             continue;
         }
         println!("{}", number);
     }

Run

Like `break`, `continue` is normally associated with the innermost enclosing loop, but labels may be used to specify the affected loop.

     // Print Odd numbers under 30 with unit <= 5
     'tens: for ten in 0..3 {
         '_units: for unit in 0..=9 {
             if unit % 2 == 0 {
                 continue;
             }
             if unit > 5 {
                 continue 'tens;
             }
             println!("{}", ten * 10 + unit);
         }
     }
