Why can't I use 'continue' inside a switch statement in Java?

Question

Why is it that the following code:

class swi  
{
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    {  
        int a=98;
        switch(a)
        {
                  


        

Answer 1

continue simply moves directly to the next iteration of the loop.

break is used to break out of loops and switches.

Use break; instead of continue;

Continue:

for(x = 0; x < 10; x++)
{
   if(x == 3)
     continue;
   else       
     DoIterativeWork();       
}

Switch:

switch(a)
{
 default:{ System.out.println("default"); break;}
 case 'b':{ System.out.println(a); break;}
 case 'a':{ System.out.println(a);}
}
