Javascript :: continue vs. break in loops #js

ContinueVs.BreakInLoops1.js

// the continue keyword will cause the loop to skip to the next iteration

for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    if (i === 3) {
        continue;
    }
    
    console.log('i is', i);
}

// output: i is 1
//         i is 2
//         i is 4
//         i is 5

// selecting only odds while loop example

let count = 5;

while (count >= 1) {
    if (count % 2 === 0) {
        continue;
    }
    
    console.log('count is', count);
    count--;
}

// output: count is 5
//         count is 3
//         count is 1


// the break keyword breaks out of the loop permanently
let myGrade = 'A';

while (true) {
    myGrade += '+';
    
    if (myGrade.length === 3) {
        break;
    }
}

console.log(myGrade);

// caveat: don't use while(true) exept when defining a break condition!!!



// the break keyword also works in for loops
