## Continue Statement

In AVAP, the  continue  statement is used to proceed with the next iteration of the closest enclosing loop. The syntax for the  continue  statement is as follows:

```javascript
continue
```

The  continue  statement can only syntactically occur nested within a  `for`  or  `while`  loop, but not within a function or class definition inside that loop.

When  continue  is used within a loop that is also handling exceptions with a  `try`  statement containing a  `finally`  clause, the  `finally`  clause is executed before the next iteration of the loop begins.

```javascript
for i in range(10):
                    try:
                        if i % 2 == 0:
                            continue
                        print(i)
                    finally:
                        print("In finally clause")
                print("Loop ended")
```

In this example, the  `continue`  statement will skip the current iteration when  `i`  is even, but before moving to the next iteration, the  `finally`  clause will print "In finally clause." For odd numbers, the loop will print the number and then "In finally clause." After the loop finishes, "Loop ended" will be printed.
