Re: "continue" construct in Lua loops

[Theodor-Iulian Ciobanu <tciobanu@...>]

Hello Leo,

I admit "continue" would simplify the code written, but why not use

for i=0,9 do
	...
	if <continue_condition1> then
		...
		if <continue_condition2> then
			...
		end
	end
end

Or have I misunderstood your question?
