 Hi everyone, in this tutorial, we're going to talk about the continuous statement in Python language. Continuous statement in Python language causes the current iteration to end and to jump to the beginning of the next iteration. And when continuous statement executes the current iteration of the loop body terminates and execution continues with the next iteration of the loop. Suppose that we have a while loop with few statements inside it and inside it we have an if statement with some condition and if this condition 2 is true then our continuous statement is going to be executed which further mean that other statements in this current iteration below this condition they're not going to be executed. In this example I'm having just one statement but if you're having more than one statement those statements they're not going to be executed if this condition is true and if those statements are down below after this if statement. What's going to happen next? Next this loop jumps to the beginning of the next iteration. It's almost the same case if you're using for loop again inside this for loop we're having if statement with a condition when this condition is true that continuous statement is going to be executed which means that other statements after this if statement down below they're not going to be executed but is that after this continuous statement our loop is going to jump to the beginning of the next iteration. I'm going to give you a simple example. I'm going to open a new file in Python IDLE. Here I'm going to show you a simple example with which you're going to get the point how and when to use the continuous statement. This example is very simple and it's simplified for you to understand how to use the continuous statement and please avoid the usage of continuous statement like this but use it in more complex examples. In this example that I'm going to show you you can solve the problem without the usage of the continuous statement. In my example I'm going to make a list. I'm going to call it list1 and I'm going to populate it with few numbers. Then I'm going to create a variable which I'm going to call sum. The variable sum is going to have value zero and now we're going to use for loop in which we're going to iterate one by one all elements from this list and if an item is less or equal than zero then in this case we don't want to add them into our sum but we're going to avoid adding this number to our sum. So if this condition is true then we're going to jump to the beginning of the next iteration but if this condition is false we're simply gonna add that current item of this list to the sum and finally we're going to print our sum. So again we're going to loop through the all elements of this list and if an element is negative number then we're going to go to the next iteration we're going to skip the current iteration because in each and every iteration we want to add our current list number to our sum but if the number is negative or zero then we're going to avoid adding it and again telling you that this is very simple example and very simple case in which you can't avoid the usage of continuous statement but if you're having some more complex condition here or some complex math or more complex statements here you can use this continuous statement to jump to the beginning of the next iteration rather than continue working with your current iteration. Okay I'm gonna save this example like for example maybe sum.py and then I'm gonna run it and we're gonna get the result 9 what was happened here so we're adding in this case just the numbers which are positive so in this case I choose all the numbers from this list which are positive numbers and the sum of these numbers are number 9 in this video we've talked about the continuous statement in Python thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe to my channel see you in the next video happy coding
