The `continue` keyword skips the code below in a loop and starts the next iteration:

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i < 5) {
    continue;
  };

  console.log("i =", i);
};

The example above shows that iterations of the loop where `i < 5` was skipped.

But for the example above, you can use the interval [5, 9] for the `i` counter.

Let's look at the better example:

for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
  console.log("Iteration started:", i);  

  if (i == 3) {
    continue;  // skip the end of 3rd iteration
  };

  console.log("- Iteration ended:", i);
};

You can see that the end of 3rd iteration was skipped.

First, let's get acquainted with JavaScript and look at its syntax. In this section, you will get a basic familiarity with the JavaScript syntax to make it easier to learn in detail later on.

Now it's time to learn about the data types that JavaScript works with. We'll start by looking at the difference between literals and variables, and then delve into the various data types.

We have become familiar with the various data types. Now, let's learn how to work with them by learning the operations we can perform with each data type.

Next, we will learn how to control the flow of execution. It's a straightforward process: we can tell the interpreter exactly what to do under certain conditions.

Next, we will explore how to shorten code using repetitive looped actions. We will examine the types of loops available in JavaScript and learn how to work with them.

Finally, to be able to write simple programs, we need to learn about functions that can make our lives much easier. We will learn how to create and use our functions.
