Continue statement with the for loop in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will use the continue statement in the for loop. The continue is a skipping statement, It will skip the execution of the below statement inside the loop body.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the continue statement in the for loop is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to demonstrate the continue statement in the for loop

// Golang program to demonstrate "continue" statement
// in "for" loop

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	for count := 1; count <= 10; count++ {
		if count == 5 {
			continue
		}
		fmt.Printf("%d ", count)
	}
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we used continue statement inside for loop. Here, number 5 is not printed on the console screen because of the continue statement. The continue is a skipping statement, it skips the execution of the below statement inside the loop body.
