In this tutorial you will learn about the Swift Continue Statement and its application with practical example.
Swift Continue Statement
In Swift, the continue statement gives you way to skip over the current iteration of any loop. When a continue statement is encountered in the loop, the rest of statements in the loop body for current iteration and returns the program execution to the very first statement in the loop body. It does not terminates the loop rather continues with the next iteration.

Example:-

print("W3Adda - Swift continue statement.") for ctr in 1...10 { if ctr == 5 { print("5 is skipped") continue } print("Number is \(ctr)") } print("Out of loop") |
When we run the above swift program, we will see following output –
Output:-
As you can see when ctr == 5, continue statement is executed which causes the current iteration to end and the control moves on to the next iteration.
