Does `continue` jump to the top of a `do while`?

do-while, java, loops

Solution

The continue makes it jump to the evaluation at the botton so the program can evaluate if it has to continue with another iteration or exit. In this case it will exit.

This is the specification: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/statements.html#6045

Problem

I have a `do while` that looks like: ``` User user = userDao.Get(1); do { // processing... // get the next user user = UserDao.GetNext(user.Id); if( user == null ) continue; // will this jump to the top of the loop? } while( user != null ) ``` Will it go to the top of the do statement, and `user == null` so things are going to break? Maybe I should rework the loop to a while statement?
