why is it printing 3? Although in theory it should not

Question

i = 1
while i<=5:
print(i)
i+=1
if i==3:
print("Skipping 3")
continue

Answer 1

it skip 3 after print 3.
see the logic error there ?

Answer 2

the code works from top to bottom.

you have the check if the value == 3 AFTER your call to print each value. just put the if statement first

Answer 3

many thanks to all!
