Kotlin continue Jump Structure

Kotlin, continue statement is used to repeat the loop. It continues the current flow of the program and skips the remaining code at specified condition.

The continue statement within a nested loop only affects the inner loop.

For example

In the above example, for loop repeat its loop when if condition execute continue. The continue statement makes repetition of loop without executing the below code of if condition.

Kotlin continue example

Output:

i = 1
this is below if
i = 2
i = 3
this is below if

Kotlin Labeled continue Expression

Labeled is the form of identifier followed by the @ sign, for example abc@, test@. To make an expression as label, we just put a label in front of expression.

Kotlin, labeled continue expression is used for repetition of specific loop (labeled loop). This is done by using continue expression with @ sign followed by label name (continue@labelname).

Kotlin labeled continue example

Output:

i = 1 and j = 1
this is below if
i = 1 and j = 2
this is below if
i = 1 and j = 3
this is below if
i = 2 and j = 1
i = 3 and j = 1
this is below if
i = 3 and j = 2
this is below if
i = 3 and j = 3
this is below if
