Python’s While and Continue: why does i += 1 placement matter?

Question

For the Break & Continue plane ticket problem, I don’t understand why the placement of i+=1 matters. This code works:

total = 0
i=1
while i<=5:
i+=1
age = int(input())
if age > 3:
total += 100
else:
continue
print(total)

But if I move the i += 1 to the bottom of the “while” section, it says the age=int(input()) line results in an EOF error.

total=0
i=1
while i<=5:
age = int(input())
if age > 3:
total += 100
else:
continue
i+=1
print(total)

Answer 1

As I know "continue" keyword ends the current loop iteration and jumps to the next one, so; in the second code, if the age is <=3 then "i+=1" won't execute, so it will require more inputs
