Should I use return/continue statement instead of if-else?

Question

In C, C++ and C# when using a condition inside a function or loop statement it\'s possible to use a continue or return statement as early as possible and g

Answer 1

as other people said, only use return/continue if things are short.

Personally i only use continue if it is possible to write on one line like:

while( loopCondition ) {
    if( innerCondition ) continue;

    //do other stuff
}

If it's not possible to write it like this without code getting ugly, then if / else.
