continue                 continue Statement
 
 continue;
 
    The continue statement terminates the execution of the current
    iteration of the `do', `for' or `while' statement in which it
    appears--any remaining statements in the loop body are skipped.  In
    do and while loops, control is transferred to the do or while
    controlling expression.  With the `for' loop, control is passed to
    the termination-condition test.
 
      Notes:    There is distinct difference between the effects of
                `break' and `continue':  `break' actually exits the loop,
                whereas continue skips the remainder of the body for this
                iteration, and then continues the loop with the next
                iteration.
 
  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
 
           while (i-- > 0) {
               if (condition)
                   continue;
               ...       /* Continue causes these statements to be skipped */
               ...              when condition is TRUE                     */
               ...
           }
