      Description

      continue is an unstructured control flow statement. It makes code less testable, less readable and less maintainable. Structured control flow statements such as if should be used instead.

      Noncompliant Code Example

      int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i == 5) {
    continue;  /* Noncompliant */
  }
  printf("i = %d\n", i);
}

      Compliant Solution

      int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i != 5) {
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
  }
}
