Description
Stops the current iteration of a loop, and starts a new iteration.
Syntax
continue [label];

The optional label argument specifies the statement to which continue applies.

Remarks
You can use the continue statement only inside a while, do...while, for, or for...in loop. Executing the continue statement stops the current iteration of the loop and continues program flow with the beginning of the loop. This has the following effects on the different types of loops:

Example:

This is very handy in for loops:
forLoop1: //The first for statement is labeled "forLoop1"
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {      
   forLoop2: //The second for statement is labeled "forLoop2"
   for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {   
      if (i === 1 && j === 1) {
         continue forLoop1
      }
      console.log('i = ' + i + ', j = ' + j)
   }
}
// 'i = 1, j - 1' will NOT print, all other combinations from 0 to 2 will.
