Continue statement in Dart Programming
The continue statement is used when we want to skip over the current iteration of any loop. When the compiler sees a continue statement then the rest of the statements after the continue are skipped and the control is transferred back to the first statement in the loop for the next iteration.
It is used in almost every programming language and we normally encounter continue statements inside the conditional blocks of code.
Syntax
continue;
Example
Let's consider an example where we make use of a continue statement inside the while loop.
Consider the example shown below −
void main(){
var num = 10;
while(num >= 3){
num--;
if(num == 6){
print("Number became 6, so skipping.");
continue;
}
print("The num is: ${num}");
}
}In the above code, we have a variable named num and we are using a while loop to iterate until the number is greater than or equal to 3. Then, we maintain a conditional check using the if statement that if we encounter a condition where the num becomes equal to 6, we continue.
Output
The num is: 9 The num is: 8 The num is: 7 Number became 6, so skipping. The num is: 5 The num is: 4 The num is: 3 The num is: 2
Example
Let's consider another example where we make use of the continue statement.
Consider the example shown below −
void main(){
var name = "apple";
var fruits = ["mango","banana","litchi","apple","kiwi"];
for(var fruit in fruits){
if(fruit == name){
print("Don't need an apple!");
continue;
}
print("current fruit : ${fruit}");
}
}Output
current fruit : mango current fruit : banana current fruit : litchi Don't need an apple! current fruit : kiwi
