When I'm inside a do while loop sometimes it's necessary to jump out
of the loop using exit do. I'm also used to being able to jump back
and begin the loop again. Not sure which language my memories are of
but I think I just said loop somewhere inside the loop and it
immediately jumped back to the start of the loop and began again. I
can't seem to do that in .net. I this functionality available?
The meaning of "continue" is to start the *next* iteration immediately and
bypass any further code in the loop body. If you want to continue the
current operation then you'd either have an inner loop or use a goto. If you
want to completely restart the loop then you'd be best enclosing it in an
outer loop. You mustn't use the goto idea for that one. Jumping out of the
loop to before the loop - that should get you those frowns. ;o)
