How do you skip to the next iteration in a loop?

• A. continue;
• B. break;
• C. skip;
• D. next;

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how to move past the rest of the code in the current loop pass and start the next one. The continue statement does exactly that: when it runs inside a loop, it stops executing any remaining statements for the present iteration and immediately begins the next iteration, re-evaluating the loop condition.

For example, in a typical loop, if you want to skip some work for particular values, you can place a condition and call continue there. That ensures the rest of the loop body isn’t run for that iteration, and the loop proceeds with the next value.

This is different from breaking, which ends the loop entirely and stops all further iterations. The other terms shown aren’t the standard keywords in mainstream languages for this behavior (though some languages have their own synonyms); continue is the familiar one used to advance to the next loop iteration.
