if statement – if pass and if continue in python

if statement – if pass and if continue in python

Using continue passes for the next iteration of the for loop
Using pass just does nothing
So when using continue the print wont happen (because the code continued to next iteration)
And when using pass it will just end the if peacefully (doing nothing actually) and do the print as well

0 not printed because of the condition if not element:

If the element is None, False, empty string() or 0 then , loop will continue with next iteration.

if statement – if pass and if continue in python

if not element:

In both examples, this will only match the 0.

pass

This does nothing. So the next command, print element, will be executed.

continue

This tells Python to stop this for loop cycle and skip to the next cycle of the loop. So print element will never be reached. Instead, the for loop will take the next value, 1 and start from the top.
