The correct answer is: B. terminate loops or to exit from a switch.
The continue statement is used to terminate the current iteration of a loop and continue with the next iteration. It can be used in any type of loop, including for loops, while loops, and do-while loops.
The continue statement is not used to permit two different expressions to appear in situations where only one expression would ordinarily be used. This is the job of the if statement.
The continue statement is not used to alter the normal sequence of program execution by transferring control to some other part of the program. This is the job of the goto statement.
The continue statement is not used to terminate a switch statement. The break statement is used to terminate a switch statement.
Here is an example of how the continue statement can be used in a for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 5) {
continue;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
In this example, the continue statement will cause the loop to skip the iteration where i is equal to 5. The output of this code will be:
0
1
2
3
4
6
7
8
