Next Continue in Visual Basic .NET

The Next and Continue statements are used in loops in Visual Basic .NET to control the sequence of execution of loop iterations and to skip certain iterations, respectively.

Next is used to jump to the next iteration of a loop. It is usually used to terminate a loop prematurely. Here is an example:

For i = 1 to 10
   If i = 5 Then
      Next
   End If
   Console.WriteLine(i)
Next

In this example, when i is equal to 5, the Next statement is executed, skipping the rest of the code in the loop and moving on to the next iteration.

Continue is used to skip certain iterations of a loop. It is used when you want to execute some code inside a loop for most of the iterations, but skip some iterations for some reason. Here is an example:

For i = 1 to 10
   If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
      Continue For
   End If
   Console.WriteLine(i)
Next

In this example, the Continue For statement is executed when i is even, skipping that iteration of the loop and moving on to the next iteration. For odd values of i, the loop continues normally and prints the value of i to the console.

I hope this explanation helps you use Next and Continue in your Visual Basic .NET code!
