## Overview
The **`continue` statement** in C++ is used to stop an iteration that is running and continue with the next one.
 
## How does it work?
The `continue` statement works in such a way that it cancels every statement running in the iteration of a loop and moves the control back to the top of the loop. In other words, it continues to the next iteration when a certain condition is reached.

In C++, we can use the `continue` statement in the `while` and `for` loops.

## Using the `continue` statement in a `for` loop

In the example below, we will use the `continue` statement in a `for` loop to continue to the next iteration when the value of `x` equals  `5`.

## Code example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
    if (x == 5) {
      continue;
    }
    cout << x << "\n";
  }   
  return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 0;
  while (x < 10) {
    if (x == 5) {
      x++;
      continue;
    }
    cout << x << "\n";
    x++;
  } 
  return 0;
}


## Code explanation 
* **Line 3**: We use the `continue` statement to continue to the next iteration after the number `'5'` character in the range of values we created.
* **Line 5**: We start a `for` loop and give an expression that makes `x` be in the range of `0` to `9`.

* **Line 6**: We create a condition that states that if the value of `x` is equal to `5` in the iteration, the iteration should stop at that point and continue to the next iteration `6`, using the continue statement.
* **Line 9**: We print the statement or command to execute provided the condition provided is true.
## Using the `continue` statement in a `while` loop
In the code below, we will use the `continue` statement in a `while` loop to continue to the next iteration when `x` equals `5`.
## Code example


## Code explanation
* **Line 5**: We create an integer variable `x` and assign it to `0`.
* **Line 6**: Using the `while` loop, we make the values of `x` to be less than `10`.
* **Lines 7, 8, and 9**: Using the `if` statement in line 7, we create a condition that if `x` equals `5`, and the value of `x` incrementing by `1` in line 8, the iteration should stop at that point and continue to the next value of `x`, which is `6` using the `continue` statement in line 9.
* **Line 11**: We print all the values of `x` providing the condition provided in line 7 is true.
* **Line 12**: We increment `x` by `1`.

What is the continue statement in C++?

The continue statement in C++ skips the current iteration and proceeds to the next in loops, based on a given condition.
