JavaScript/Reserved words/continue

The continue keyword

The continue keyword interrupts the loop immediately, going to the starting line as if the loop had been finished to the end and incrementing the loop variable, if any.

Examples

The code

  var array = [2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11], result = 1;

  for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    result += array[i];
    console.log("result = " + result);
    if (result%2 == 0) {
      continue;
    }
  }

returns the following:

result = 3
result = 6
