Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's JavaScript journey — lesson 41 of 77.

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

for (let i = 3; i < 9; i++) {
	if (i == 5) {
		continue;
	}
	console.log(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:

3
4
6
7
8

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

for (let i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
    console.log(i);
}
