Continue and pass

#1

what is the difference between continue and pass. They are both used to skip a block of code.

Hey @taniya.r,

pass statement will skip the block and moves to the next statements in the outer blocks,
whereas continue will skip whole iteration and resume from next iteration.

for e.g

for i in range(5):
    if(i%2==0):
        pass
    print(i)

Output would be :
0
1
2
3
4
Bcoz it goes in the if staement but does nothing, and continue the execution from the next line.
whereas

for i in range(5):
    if(i%2==0):
        continue
    print(i)

Here, Output should be :
1
3

When it is going in if condition , bcoz we have used the continue statement it is skipping the next lines as well, and restart the loop with incremented i value

I hope this clears your doubt,
Thanks :slight_smile:
