Continue Statements and While Loops

Question

When I use "Continue Statements" in while Loops, I get this error :

Terminated
Execution Timed Out!

public class Loop_Control_Statements
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{

int z = 45;
while(z<=50)
{
if(z==49)
{
continue;
}
System.out.println(z);
z++;
}
}
}

Answer 1

i got ur bug
ur mistake is that u increment the value of z after the "continue" statement

look at ur code when z == 49, ur condition got true and the code lines after got skipped and loop restarts with the same value of z that is 49 and this created a infinity loop that give this timeout error becouse it was taking too much time for complier to process a infinity loop and it ends ur codes

try to put the z++ before the condition and all things works fine

Answer 2

The value increment for variable <z> is never reached. The condition z == 49 is the cause, value of <z> is not incremented because once <z> equals to 49 execution flow will always enter the 'z == 49' branch, and value of <z> is never incremented. The loop is stuck in infinity, and SoloLearn Code Playground safety mechanism terminates your code because the loop will never end : )
