Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's C++ journey — lesson 46 of 74.

The continue statement stops the current iteration and continues to the next iteration. For example:

for (int i = 3; i < 9; i++) {
	if (i == 5) {
		continue;
	}
	std::cout << i << std::endl;
}

The loop will iterate through all of the numbers. When it reaches ⁣i=5 it will skip that iteration and continue to the next one. The output is:

Notice, number 5 is not in the output.

Challenge

Beginner

You are given a code that prints the numbers from 1 to 20 (including).

Your task is to add if and continue statements so that only the even numbers will be printed (2, 4, 6, ...).

Try it yourself

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
        std::cout << i << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
