Continue Considered Harmful?

Question

Should developers avoid using continue in C# or its equivalent in other languages to force the next iteration of a loop? Would arguments for or against overlap with arguments about Goto?

Answer 1

I think there should be more use of continue!

Too often I come across code like:

for (...)
{
   if (!cond1)
   {
      if (!cond2)
      {
          ... highly indented lines ...
      }
   }
}

instead of

for (...)
{
   if (cond1 || cond2)
   {
      continue;
   }

   ...
}

Use it to make the code more readable!
