Equivalent of “continue” in Ruby

Question

In C and many other languages, there is a continue keyword that, when used inside of a loop, jumps to the next iteration of the loop. Is there any equivalent of

Answer 1

Use next, it will bypass that condition and rest of the code will work. Below i have provided the Full script and out put

class TestBreak
  puts " Enter the nmber"
  no= gets.to_i
  for i in 1..no
    if(i==5)
      next
    else 
      puts i
    end
  end
end

obj=TestBreak.new()

Output: Enter the nmber 10

1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10

Answer 2

Writing Ian Purton's answer in a slightly more idiomatic way:

(1..5).each do |x|
  next if x < 2
  puts x
end

Prints:

  2
  3
  4
  5

Answer 3

next

also, look at redo which redoes the current iteration.

Answer 4

Ruby has two other loop/iteration control keywords: redo and retry. Read more about them, and the difference between them, at Ruby QuickTips.

Answer 5

Yes, it's called next.

for i in 0..5
   if i < 2
     next
   end
   puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"
end

This outputs the following:

Value of local variable is 2
Value of local variable is 3
Value of local variable is 4
Value of local variable is 5
 => 0..5 

Answer 6

I think it is called next.
