Can any one explain this code. Please. Why output is 1,2,4

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
for (int i=1;i<5;i++){
if(i==3)
continue ;
cout <<i <<",";
}

}

Answer 1

when i is 3, continue takes you through the loop again, skipping the cout statement. So you get just 1,2, and 4.

Answer 2

Scott, if there are many nested if inside this, how does it identify the end of loop?
