Python for loop increment

Question

How is this working and for loop increment doesn’t work?

for i in range(0,10):
   if i == 3:
       i = i + 1
       continue
   print(i)

Answer 1

for the code,

for i in range(0,10):
   if i == 3:
       i = i + 1
       continue
   print(i)

the output is going to be,

0
1
2
4
5
6
7
8
9

Breaking down the code,

for i in range(0, 10)

for loop runs for i=0 to i=9, each time initializing i with the value 0 to 9.

if i == 3:
 i = i + 1
 continue
print(i)

when i = 3, above condition executes, does the operation i=i+1 and then continue, which looks to be confusing you, so what continue does is it will jump the execution to start the next iteration without executing the code after it in the loop, i.e. print(i) would not be executed.

This means that for every iteration of i the loop will print i, but when i = 3 the if condition executes and continue is executed, leading to start the loop for next iteration i.e. i=4, hence the 3 is not printed.
