The continue statement in Python
In addition to the break instruction, which terminates the loop, there is also the continue instruction, which starts a new iteration of the loop. This instruction can sometimes be useful for simplifying code.
Let us have a list lst:
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Let's output all elements from it except the number 3. To do this, under the block with the condition, we write the instruction continue. At the same time, we specify the function print in the first block of the cycle:
for el in lst:
if el == 3:
continue
print(el) # 1, 2, 4, 5
Given a set:
tst = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'}
Extract all elements from it except the symbol 'd'.
Given a list:
tst = [6, 3, -2, 8, -4, 9]
Remove all elements from it except the negative ones.
Given a list:
tst = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
Get the string 'acde' from it.
