AP CSA Unit 2 Day 22: Iteration Continue

February 6, 2026

Unit 2, Selection & Iteration • Cycle 2

Day 22 Advanced Practice • Harder Difficulty

Focus: Continue Statement Hard Iteration (continue)

Advanced Practice Question

Format: Iteration (continue)

What is printed?

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    if (i == 2) {
        continue;
    }
    System.out.print(i + " ");
}

Difficulty: Hard | Topic: Iteration (continue) | Cycle: 2 (Advanced)

Why This Answer?

When i is 3, `continue` skips `sum += i` for that iteration. The sum is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12.

Common Mistake

Watch Out!

Thinking `continue` ends the entire loop (it only skips to the next iteration).

AP Exam Strategy

`continue` skips the rest of the loop body for that iteration, then the loop continues.

This Cycle 2 HARD question tests continue statement. Review Unit 2 concepts to build mastery of selection and iteration.

Cycle 2 questions prepare you for the hardest AP CSA exam questions.
