continue statement is used to change the order of
execution within a loop. The continue statement can
be used inside a for loop or a while loop. The
syntax for its use is
continue
inside the body of the loop. The continue statement
forces execution to start at the top of the loop with
the next iteration. The examples section shows how
the continue statement works.
continue statement.
We want to sum the integers from 1 to 10, but not
the number 5. We will use a for loop and a continue
statement.
continue_ex.m
function accum = continue_ex
accum = 0;
for i=1:10
if (i==5)
continue;
end
accum = accum + 1; %skipped if i == 5!
end
The function is exercised here:
--> continue_ex ans = <int32> - size: [1 1] 9 --> sum([1:4,6:10]) ans = <int32> - size: [1 1] 50
