PL/SQL Control Statement Exercises: Using loop with CONTINUE WHEN statement

PL/SQL Control Statement: Exercise-22 with Solution

Write a program in PL/SQL using loop with CONTINUE WHEN statement.

Sample Solution:

PL/SQL Code:

DECLARE
  n NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
  LOOP -- After CONTINUE statement, control resumes here
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('The value inside the loop:  n = ' || TO_CHAR(n));
    n := n + 1;
    CONTINUE WHEN n < 4;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
      ('The value inside loop, after CONTINUE:  n = ' || TO_CHAR(n));
    EXIT WHEN n = 6;
  END LOOP;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('The value after exit from the loop:  n = ' || TO_CHAR(n));
END;
/

Flowchart:

Sample Output:

The value inside the loop:  n = 0
The value inside the loop:  n = 1
The value inside the loop:  n = 2
The value inside the loop:  n = 3
The value inside loop, after CONTINUE:  n = 4
The value inside the loop:  n = 4
The value inside loop, after CONTINUE:  n = 5
The value inside the loop:  n = 5
The value inside loop, after CONTINUE:  n = 6
The value after exit from the loop:  n = 6
