Example
#!/usr/bin/python3 for letter in 'Python': # First Example if letter == 'h': continue print ('Current Letter :', letter) var = 10 # Second Example while var > 0: var = var -1 if var == 5: continue print ('Current variable value :', var) print ("Good bye!")
Output
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
Current Letter : P Current Letter : y Current Letter : t Current Letter : o Current Letter : n Current variable value : 9 Current variable value : 8 Current variable value : 7 Current variable value : 6 Current variable value : 4 Current variable value : 3 Current variable value : 2 Current variable value : 1 Current variable value : 0 Good bye!
