i don't understand why there's no output

Question

text = input()
word = input()

def search(x, y):
new_list=x.split(" ")
for i in new_list:
if i == y:
print("Word found")
break
elif i != y:
continue
print("Word not found")

search(text, word)

i don't understand why instead of "Word not found" no output comes out. As i understood all code after continue has to run but it just doesn't happen.

Answer 1

all code in the loop after continue will be skipped for current iteration. So it never executes print("Word not found")
