JavaScript Continue

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

The continue statement skips the current iteration of a loop and moves processing on to the next one — and together with break it is one of the only two JavaScript statements that can "jump out of" a code block. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• continue skips one iteration — it skips the remaining code in the current iteration and moves processing to the next iteration of the loop. [S1]
• Labels name statements — a label provides a name for a statement or a block of statements, allowing them to be referenced for program flow control, particularly in loops. [S1]
• Label syntax — a label is an identifier followed by a colon (:) that precedes a statement or a block of code. [S1]
• continue labelname — continue can target a labeled loop, controlling which loop continues in nested loops. [S1]
• Only two jump-out statements — break and continue are the only JavaScript statements that can "jump out of" a code block. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

• Guard-and-skip — inside a loop, test a condition (if (i === 3)) and call continue to skip processing for that one value while keeping the loop running. [S1]
• Label a loop, then continue it — prefix a loop with labelname: and use continue labelname; to decide, from inside a nested loop, which enclosing loop to advance. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

The Continue Statement The continue statement "skips the current iteration" in a loop. The remaining code in the iteration is skipped and processing moves to the next iteration. [S1]

for (let i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i === 3) { continue; }
  text += "The number is " + i + "<br>";
}

JavaScript Labels A label provides a name for a statement, or a block of statements, allowing statements to be referenced for program flow control, particularly in loops. A label is an identifier followed by a colon (:). [S1]

A label precedes a statement:

labelname: statement;

A label precedes a block of code:

labelname: {
  statements
}

Continue to Labelname The syntax for continuing a labeled loop is: [S1]

continue labelname;

Continuing the outer loop (loop1) from inside the inner loop: [S1]

let text = "";

loop1: for (let j = 1; j < 5; j++) {
  loop2: for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
    if (i === 3) { continue loop1; }
    text += i;
   }
}

Continuing the inner loop (loop2) instead: [S1]

let text = "";

loop1: for (let j = 1; j < 5; j++) {
  loop2: for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
    if (i === 3) { continue loop2; }
    text += i;
   }
}

break and continue are the only JavaScript statements that can "jump out of" a code block. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

The page's own snippets are the canonical applied examples — skipping the value 3 in a for loop, and using labeled continue loop1 / continue loop2 to control which loop advances in a nested-loop scenario. No external project/commit applications found in the source.

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Skip one iteration with continue:

for (let i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i === 3) { continue; }
  text += "The number is " + i + "<br>";
}

Continue a labeled outer loop from a nested loop:

loop1: for (let j = 1; j < 5; j++) {
  loop2: for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
    if (i === 3) { continue loop1; }
    text += i;
   }
}
