# Perl next Statement
[ Perl Loops](#)
The Perl `next` statement is used to stop executing statements from the next statement after `next` until the end of the loop body identifier, and then jump to execute the `continue` block, and then return to the beginning of the loop body to start the next iteration.
### Syntax
The syntax format is as follows:
next ;
Where `LABEL` is optional. If no `LABEL` is specified, the `next` statement will return to the beginning of the loop body to start the next iteration.
## Example
#!/usr/bin/perl$a = 10; while($a<20){if($a == 15){# Skip iteration$a = $a + 1; next; }print"a value is: $an"; $a = $a + 1; }
Executing the above program, the output result is:
a value is: 10 a value is: 11 a value is: 12 a value is: 13 a value is: 14 a value is: 16 a value is: 17 a value is: 18 a value is: 19
