JLS 14.7 Labeled statements (edited for clarity) Statements may have label prefixes (Identifier : Statement). The Identifier is declared to be the label of the immediately contained Statement. Unlike C and C++, the Java programming language has no goto statement; identifier statement labels are used with break (§14.15) or continue (§14.16) statements appearing anywhere within … Read more
Yes, they do completely different things. pass simply does nothing, while continue goes on with the next loop iteration. In your example, the difference would become apparent if you added another statement after the if: After executing pass, this further statement would be executed. After continue, it wouldn’t. >>> a = [0, 1, 2] >>> … Read more

for uses iter(song) to loop; you can do this in your own code and then advance the iterator inside the loop; calling iter() on the iterable again will only return the same iterable object so you can advance the iterable inside the loop with for following right along in the next iteration. Advance the iterator … Read more
break leaves a loop, continue jumps to the next iteration.
Here’s a simple example: for letter in ‘Django’: if letter == ‘D’: continue print(“Current Letter: ” + letter) Output will be: Current Letter: j Current Letter: a Current Letter: n Current Letter: g Current Letter: o It continues to the next iteration of the loop.
continue is kind of like goto. Are you familiar with break? It’s easier to think about them in contrast: break terminates the loop (jumps to the code below it). continue terminates the rest of the processing of the code within the loop for the current iteration, but continues the loop.
