1The continue statement in Python returns the control to the beginning of the
2while loop. The continue statement rejects all the remaining statements
3in the current iteration of the loop and moves the control back to the top of
4the loop.

6The continue statement can be used in both while and for loops.

4 if value==3:
5 continue
6 elif value==8:
7 print('Eight value')
8 elif value==9:
9 break
1## When the program execution reaches a continue statement,
2## the program execution immediately jumps back to the start
3## of the loop.
