Equivalent of continue in Ruby

Question

In C and many other languages  there is a continue keyword that  when used inside of a loop  jumps to the next iteration of the loop  Is there any equivalent of this continue keyword in Ruby

User · Answer

Inside for-loops and iterator methods like each and map the next keyword in ruby will have the effect of jumping to the next iteration of the loop (same as continue in C).

However what it actually does is just to return from the current block. So you can use it with any method that takes a block - even if it has nothing to do with iteration.

next  also  look at redo which redoes the current iteration

Ruby has two other loop iteration control keywords  redo and retry   Read more about them  and the difference between them  at Ruby QuickTips
