Force an iteration of a loop

Question

In my "native" programming language (RPG), I can write a loop and just leave the loop or force an iteration. It is kind of like a GOTO.

dow (x < 999); read file; if (%eof); leave; // Leave the loop endif; if (field <> fileField); iter; // Iterate to the next record endif; enddo;

My question is if there is a similar option is C#. In my case, I am working with a foreach loop.

continue; // Goto the next iteration break; // Exit the loop

+1 Clear and concise; exactly what I like to see in an answer.

That is why I marked it as the answer. It can't get any clearer than that.

Break will exit the loop. Continue will jump to the next iteration.

Use the continue keyword

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { if (i < 9) continue; Console.WriteLine(i); }

the output of this is :

9 10
