continue
The continue
statement passes control to the next iteration of the for
loop or while
loop in which it appears, skipping any remaining statements in the body of the loop. In nested loops, continue
passes control to the next iteration of the for
loop or while
loop enclosing it.
The example below shows a continue
loop that counts the lines of code in the file magic.m
, skipping all blank lines and comments. A continue
statement is used to advance to the next line in magic.m
without incrementing the count whenever a blank line or comment line is encountered.
fid = fopen('magic.m','r'); count = 0; while ~feof(fid) line = fgetl(fid); if isempty(line) | strncmp(line,'%',1) continue end count = count + 1; end disp(sprintf('%d lines',count));
