Python: continue statement

‘continue’ statement skips the current iteration of loops like for, while.

test.py

i = 2

while (i < 20):
 i+=2
 if(i%2 != 0):
  continue
 print(i)
 
else:
 print("Exiting loop")
 
print("Finished Execution")

Above program prints all the even numbers up to 20 (exclusive).
