continue#

Purpose#

Jumps to the top of a do while, do until or for loop.

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.
