Problem in For Loop

[Kaveri Rajesh]

Hi,

Consider the following code:

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
if(i==j) {
continue;
}
System.out.println(" i = " + i + " j = " + j);
}
}
Which lines would be part of output?
A. i = 0 j = 0
B. i = 0 j = 1
C. i = 0 j = 2
D. i = 1 j = 0
E. i = 1 j = 1
F. i = 1 j = 2
The answer given is B, C, D, F. Can anyone explain how continue statement executes?
Thanks
Kaveri

continue will actually stop the current turn of loop and start the next turn of the enclosing loop.
Therefore, when you have the same value of J and i in choices A and E, the println line is not executed, but jump to the next turn of loop.
Hope this helps.
