Why continue statement won't work in while and do while loops?

I'm using continue statement in while and dowhile loop (in java) , I'm using cmd as a compiler , for example, i take while loop and sets the condition to i<20 and initialize i to 0 and i++ (as usual), and takes an if statement and sets the condition i == 16 then continue statement should be execute, the basic purpose of continue statement is to skip that iteration, but i think it won't work well with while and do while loop, i don't know if the problem is in loop or in the compiler itself (cmd).

continue works in while and do while loops. You must have made some mistake, but you have to show us the code, otherwise we're left to guessing.

We have the 'Code Playground' here. You can put the part with your loop there, save it and copypaste the link here.

How can I show you the code, it's impossible to add image in this comment section.

When i==16, it loops infinitely. After that Never reached to i++, always 'continue' executing. It does not exit loop, so then terminating execution. Use i++ before if condition.. Like.. i++; if(i==16) continue;

Anmol Kumar I guess this is what you are trying to do: public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { int i=0; while(i<20){ i++; if(i==16) continue; System.out.println(i); } } }

The condition you've placed already makes the while loop continue with some other code. Use a continue statement when there might be an error that will stop the process or in a situation where you want some other code not related to the loop to run after your looping condition is met
