Continue

Continue with next loop cycle.

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 37

Description

Continue jumps to the end of the current repetitive statement. The code between the Continue call and the end of the repetitive statement is skipped. The condition of the repetitive statement is then checked again.

This can be used with For, repeat and While statements.

Note that while this is a procedure, Continue is a compiler intrinsic (i.e. is treated specially) and hence cannot be redefined.

Errors

None.

Example

Program Example86;

{ Program to demonstrate the Continue function. }

Var I : longint;

begin
  I:=0;
  While I<10 Do
    begin
    Inc(I);
    If I<5 Then
      Continue;
    Writeln (i);
    end;
  I:=0;
  Repeat
    Inc(I);
    If I<5 Then
      Continue;
    Writeln (i);
  Until I>=10;
  For I:=1 to 10 do
    begin
    If I<5 Then
      Continue;
    Writeln (i);
    end;
end.
