The label and continue Statements and Nested Loops
The label statement does not inherently go with the continue statement but, like discussing break with switch and case, you might find it useful to see the statements used in a mutual context. Likewise, nested loops typically are written without either label or continue statements, but they serve as a useful structure to help explain how to effectively use continue.
For the most part, I don’t use continue because, like the break statement, it can signal sloppy programming practices and poor planning. However, when used appropriately and in the right context, continue can be a valuable programming option. The statement jumps out of sequence in a loop structure, but, unlike break, which exits ...
