difference between continue and return

[joppiesaus]

Hi, I have a question:
You can use return to simply abort your command, but can you also use continue?
For example:

Code: Select all

if (p == null)
{
   //return or continue?
}


I know, if you do continue in a for loop, the for loop will be executed the next time. example:

Code: Select all

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
   if (i == 0)
      continue; //only 0 will not be printed on the console. If you use break instead of continue, the for loop will be cancelled instead.
   Console.Write(i);
}

you can do on

Code: Select all

if (p == null)
{
   //return or continue?
}


what you want

From C# Language Specification:

The continue statement starts a new iteration of the nearest enclosing while, do, for, or foreach statement.
The target of a continue statement is the end point of the embedded statement of the nearest enclosing while, do, for, or foreach statement. If a continue statement is not enclosed by a while, do, for, or foreach statement, a compile-time error occurs.
When multiple while, do, for, or foreach statements are nested within each other, a continue statement applies only to the innermost statement. To transfer control across multiple nesting levels, a goto statement must be used.
