Equivalent of "continue" in Ruby

continue, keyword, ruby

Solution

Yes, it's called `next`.

for i in 0..5
   if i < 2
     next
   end
   puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"
end

This outputs the following:

Value of local variable is 2
Value of local variable is 3
Value of local variable is 4
Value of local variable is 5
 => 0..5

Problem

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?
