Isn't this a poor example of continue, since it is so easily completed using an if-else instead? How about a task which is more of an 'early-exit' sort of situation? --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 16:40, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
:"Early exit" sounds more like break to me. The task says to force the next iteration. I think that's enough. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 16:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
== Fortran 77! ==
Fortran 77 can do this loop (as well as most of the others), but it cannot print without creating a newline. Some compilers have their own way of doing that, but it is simply not a feature in the ANSI FORTRAN 77 standard. On the other hand, F77 basically doesn't have loops, so I feel examples of rigged-up loops would be particularly helpful. If I am going to post examples, they will either (a) not meet your program specifications or (b) not meet ANSI's specifications.
For the former, I'd probably use a double-newline or something to indicate the difference. For the latter, I'd post a warning about that feature and indicate nonstandard code.
Personally, I feel it would be better to go with the latter because, in this specific case, we are talking about literally one nonstandard character. But I defer to your judgment. --[[User:Maaatt|Maaatt]] 19:24, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
