I want to skip the while loop only once. How can I do this?

import time
i = 0
while True:
    
    if i == 3:
        pass
    
    i += 1
    print(i)
    time.sleep(1)

Thank you.

You can use the continue statement to move to the beginning of the loop and that way "skip" it, but you will need to increment i first.

  • Is there any other way I can jump to the next iteration once a condition is satisfied? – deepLearner Nov 30 '21 at 02:13
  • continue is the right thing to use for skipping over a loop, a different alternative would be to wrap the internals in an if block, but that gets ugly fast, another is to use a separate function that does the work that you call for each iteration, either "return early" or use if around it. – NiKiZe Nov 30 '21 at 02:27

You can do it like this :-

import time 
i = 0 
while True: 
    i += 1
    if i == 3: 
        continue   
    print(i) 
    time.sleep(1)
