# C# continue Statement
[ C# Loops](#)
The **continue** statement in C# is somewhat similar to the **break** statement. Instead of forcing termination, however, continue forces the next iteration of the loop to take place, skipping any code in between.
For **for** loops, the **continue** statement causes the conditional test and increment portions of the loop to execute. For **while** and **do...while** loops, **continue** statement causes the program control to pass to the conditional tests.
## Syntax
The syntax of a **continue** statement in C# is:
continue;
## Flowchart
## Example
## Example
using System;
namespace Loops
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
/* local variable definition */
int a =10;
/* do loop execution */
do
{
if(a ==15)
{
/* skip the iteration */
a = a +1;
continue;
}
Console.WriteLine("a value: {0}", a);
a++;
}while(a <20);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
a value: 10 a value: 11 a value: 12 a value: 13 a value: 14 a value: 16 a value: 17 a value: 18 a value: 19
