continue -- continue with the next iteration of a loop

Synopsis

• Usage:

  continue x

• Inputs:

  • x
• Consequences:

  • the currently executing list-clause of a for-loop or while-loop is finished, and iteration continues with the do-clause or the next iteration of the loop, if any. The value x is added to the list being accumulated. If x is omitted, then no value is added to the list, and the statement may be used in a do-clause.
