In C, the continue statement is a control flow statement that allows you to skip over an iteration of a loop, without exiting the loop. When a continue statement is encountered inside a loop, the program execution skips the remaining code of the current iteration and continues with the next iteration.

The continue statement can be used with any type of loop, including for, while, and do-while loops.

Here is an example of using continue statement in a for loop:

Copy code

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {    if (i % 2 == 0) {        continue;    }    printf("%d ", i); }

In this example, the loop will iterate from 1 to 10, but when the value of i is even, the continue statement will be executed and it will skip the current iteration, so it won't print the even numbers.

It's important to use the continue statement with caution, as it can make the code harder to understand and maintain. It's always a good practice to use a boolean variable to control the loop instead of using the continue statement.

Also, it's important to make sure that the continue statement is inside a loop, otherwise the program will raise a syntax error.
