Can we use continue in the block of while loop?

Question

Why this code not working:

let I = 7;

while (I) {
if (I==3) continue;
console.log(i—);
}

Answer 1

Like this
let i = 7;

while(i > 0) {
if(i == 3) {
continue;
}
console.log(i--);
}

Answer 2

After the i is a line and not 2 minuses (--)
and another reason can be that you use capital I and lowercase i

Answer 3

Also I think it isn't neccessary, but you should put the "continue" statement into { }.

Answer 4

Yep, it should work now. 👍

Answer 5

issue is continue will go back to the while loop and ‘i’ will never get to decrement, should be
let i = 7;
while(i==3) {
i—;
continue;
}
console.log(i—);
}

Answer 6

Hm, I was fast with confirming this is working, runinig in WebStorm to Chrome and still getting Page uresponsive error

Answer 7

You should use for cycle instead.
for (let i = 7; i > 0; i--)
{
if (i == 3){continue;}
console.log(i);
}

Answer 8

agree, I just confused why it not working with while solution is need to use decrement two times
