The continue statement tells the interpreter to immediately start the next iteration of the loop and
skip remaining code block.
When a continue statement is encountered, program flow will move to the loop check expression
immediately and if condition remain true then it start next iteration otherwise control comes out
of the loop
Example:
This example illustrates the use of a continue statement with a while loop. Notice how the
continue statement is used to skip printing when the index held in variable x reaches 5
