# Continue

Continue with next loop cycle.

## Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 31

`procedure Continue;`

## Description

Continue jumps to the end of the current repetitive statement. The code between the Continue call and the end of the repetitive statement is skipped. The condition of the repetitive statement is then checked again.

This can be used with For, repeat and While statements.

Note that while this is a procedure, Continue is a reserved word and hence cannot be redefined.

## Errors

None.

## Example

    Program Example86;

    { Program to demonstrate the Continue function. }

    Var I : longint;

    begin
      I:=0;
      While I<10 Do
        begin
        Inc(I);
        If I<5 Then
          Continue;
        Writeln (i);
        end;
      I:=0;
      Repeat
        Inc(I);
        If I<5 Then
          Continue;
        Writeln (i);
      Until I>=10;
      For I:=1 to 10 do
        begin
        If I<5 Then
          Continue;
        Writeln (i);
        end;
    end.
