Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Java journey — lesson 46 of 73.

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;
    }
    System.out.println(i);
}

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 even numbers will be printed (2, 4, 6, ...).

Try it yourself

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
            System.out.println(i);
        }
    }
}

Test yourself

This lesson includes a short quiz. Start the lesson to answer it and track your progress.
