Pattern: Use of continue statement

Issue: -

Description

The continue statement skips the rest of the current loop iteration and can make code harder to understand and maintain. Using structured control flow with if statements leads to clearer and more testable code.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i >= 5) {
    continue;
  }
  sum += i;
}

for (const user of users) {
  if (!user.active) {
    continue;
  }
  processUser(user);
}

Example of correct code:

let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i < 5) {
    sum += i;
  }
}

for (const user of users) {
  if (user.active) {
    processUser(user);
  }
}
