continue
==============================================

Purpose
----------------

Jumps to the top of a `do` or `for` loop.

.. index:: continue

Format
----------------

::

    continue;

Examples
----------------

Basic example
+++++++++++++

::

    for i(1, 5, 1);
        if i == 3;
            continue;
        endif;
        print i;
    endfor;

The above code will print the sequence from 1 to 5, skipping 3, because of the `continue` statement.

::

    1.00
    2.00
    4.00
    5.00

Set off-diagonal elements to zero
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

::

    rndseed   8989;
    x = rndn(4, 4);

    /*
    ** Loop through each row of 'x' using 'r' as the loop
    ** counter
    */
    for r(1, rows(x), 1);
       // Loop through each element in our current row
       for c(1, cols(x), 1); /* continue jumps here */
             /*
             ** If we are on the diagonal skip the rest of the
             ** inner loop
             */
             if c == r;
                continue;
             endif;
          // Set the non-diagonal elements to 0
          x[r, c] = 0;
       endfor;
    endfor;

Before the loops, *x* looks like:

::

    0.010555555     -0.045969063       0.12701699        1.6454828
      1.2380373       0.53988699        1.1556776      -0.53575797
     0.14056238       0.11221419       0.91500922       -2.2910169
      1.4278412      -0.96476892       0.22852569       -1.6014053

After the loops above, *x* looks like:

::

    0.010555555       0.00000000       0.00000000       0.00000000
     0.00000000       0.53988699       0.00000000       0.00000000
     0.00000000       0.00000000       0.91500922       0.00000000
     0.00000000       0.00000000       0.00000000       -1.6014053

Remarks
------------

This command works just as in **C**.
