Which control statement can be used to immediately stop an iteration and move to the next one?nextskipcontinuebreak

In programming, particularly in languages like Python, Java, and C, the control statement that is used to immediately stop the current iteration of a loop and move to the next iteration is the continue statement.

Explanation

1. When the continue statement is encountered within a loop, it effectively skips the remaining statements in the current iteration.
2. The loop then proceeds to the next iteration, evaluating the loop condition again.
3. This is particularly useful in scenarios where certain conditions need to be filtered out while continuing with the rest of the loop.

For example, in Python:

for i in range(10):
    if i % 2 == 0:   # Check if the number is even
        continue     # Skip the even number
    print(i)        # This line prints only the odd numbers

In this example, the continue statement allows the loop to skip any even numbers and print only the odd ones.

In contrast, the break statement would terminate the loop altogether, which is not the case with continue.
