Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d)

Explanation:

• The Continue statement is used inside the looping statements.
• When a Continue statement is encountered inside the loop, it stops executing the current iteration ( it skips the next steps in the current iteration) and goes to the next iteration.
• It then continues to execute the loop for the next iteration.
• The continue statement can be used in all the looping structures ( for loop, while loop, do while loop ).
• The syntax for continue statement is " $continue;$ "
• Options (a),(b),(c) are wrong options.
• Option (d) is correct option.
