Learning Python: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners to Coding with Python with Useful Tools

Using “continue” in a Loop
Instead  of  using  the  break  statement  to  completely  exit  a  loop  without
executing the remaining code, the continue statement can be used to return
to the starting point of a loop. However, this depends on the outcome of the
conditional test in question. For instance, let us look at the program, which
counts from 10 to 20 but display only the even numbers.
even_number = 10
while even_number < 20:
even_number +=1
if even_number %2 == 0:
continue
print(even_number)
Firstly, we assigned an even_number to 10. However, since the number is
less  than  20,  it  goes  through  the  while  loop.  In  the  loop,  we  increase  the
value  of  the  number  by  1,  which  now  becomes  11.  Then  the  if  statement
verifies if the modulo of the number is 0. This means there is no remainder
when  we  divide  the  number  by  2.  Nevertheless,  the  continue  statement
informs the interpreter to overlook the loop while returning to the starting
point  of  the  statement.  However,  if  the  number  isn’t  divisible  by  2,  the
remaining part of the program is executed and displays the number:
10
12
