Why does Lua have no “continue” statement?

Question

I have been dealing a lot with Lua in the past few months, and I really like most of the features but I\'m still missing something among those:

• Why is there no

Answer 1

We can achieve it as below, it will skip even numbers

local len = 5
for i = 1, len do
    repeat 
        if i%2 == 0 then break end
        print(" i = "..i)
        break
    until true
end

O/P:

i = 1
i = 3
i = 5
