Equivalent of "continue" in Ruby

Yes, it's called next.

for i in 0..5
   if i < 2
     next
   end
   puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"
end

This outputs the following:

Value of local variable is 2
Value of local variable is 3
Value of local variable is 4
Value of local variable is 5
 => 0..5 

next

also, look at redo which redoes the current iteration.


Writing Ian Purton's answer in a slightly more idiomatic way:

(1..5).each do |x|
  next if x < 2
  puts x
end

Prints:

  2
  3
  4
  5
