Continue
Control flow statement to continue next iteration of a loop
Skips all code until the end clause of a loop structure, i.e. Do...Loop, For...Next, or a While...Wend block, then executes the limit condition check. In the case of a For...Next, the variable is incremented according to the Step specified.
Where there are multiple Do / For / While blocks nested, it will continue on the innermost block of that type, i.e. the last one entered. You can continue an earlier block of that type by giving the word multiple times, separated by commas. e.g. continue while, while

Description

Example
Dim As Integer n
Print "Here are odd numbers between 0 and 10!"
Print
For n = 0 To 10
If ( n Mod 2 ) = 0 Then
Continue For
End If
Print n
Next n
Print "Here are odd numbers between 0 and 10!"
For n = 0 To 10
If ( n Mod 2 ) = 0 Then
Continue For
End If
Print n
Next n

Print "Here are the prime numbers between 1 and 20!"
Print
Dim n As Integer, d As Integer
For n = 2 To 20
For d = 2 To Int(Sqr(n))
If ( n Mod d ) = 0 Then ' d divides n
Continue For, For ' n is not prime, so try next n
End If
Next d
Print n
Next n
Print "Here are the prime numbers between 1 and 20!"
Dim n As Integer, d As Integer
For n = 2 To 20
