While Continue Statement

While Continue Statement

While continue statements are used to conditionally execute a block of code until a continue is not encountered

while continue {
    // ...
}

Execution Condition

The code inside the block will be executed or be re-executed until a continue is not encountered

Usage example

import basics

func main {
    value int = 0
    
    while continue {
        value = scanInt("Enter a value that isn't zero: ")
        if value == 0, continue
    }
    
    print("You entered " + value)
}

Break and Continue

Both break and continue apply to while continue statements

Loop Labels

Loop labels can be used for while continue loops by specifying a name for the loop label after while continue

name String = ""
while continue asking_for_valid_name {
    name = scan("Enter your name: ")
    
    if isInvalid(name) {
        print("Please enter a valid name!")
        continue asking_for_valid_name
    }
}
