How to use continue in while loop?

Question

I tried to use continue in a while loop to skip print number but it doesn't work.

 num = int(input())

 while int(num) > 0 :
     num-=1
    print(num)
    if num == 6:
        continue
    elif num ==1:
     print("8 Numbers Printed Successfully.")
     break
#i want to remove number six

Answer 1

Try this

num = int(input())

while num > 0 :
    num -= 1
    if num == 6: 
        continue

    elif num == 1:
        print("8 Numbers Printed Successfully.")
        break
    
    print(num)

Answer 2

Your print line should be after the if-else block

num = int(input())

while int(num) > 0:
    num -= 1
    # print(num) => if you print here, it does not check the condition
    if num == 6:
        continue
    elif num == 1:
        print("8 Numbers Printed Successfully.")
        break
    # print number here
    print(num)

Answer 3

First of all, how do you know it's been 8 numbers? The input can be any number. Secondly, if you want to print every number but 6 you need to move the num -= 1 too. Being there, it won't print the first number.

Try this if you don't insist on using continue :

num = int(input())

printed_numbers = 0
while int(num) > 0 :
    if num != 6:
        print(num)
        printed_numbers += 1
    num -= 1
print("{} Numbers Printed Successfully.".format(printed_numbers))

Or this, if you want to test continue :

num = int(input())

printed_numbers = 0
while int(num) > 0 :
    if num == 6:
        num -= 1
        continue
    print(num)
    printed_numbers += 1
    num -= 1
print("{} Numbers Printed Successfully.".format(printed_numbers))

Finally, If you're ok with the num -= 1 there:

num = int(input())

printed_numbers = 0
while int(num) > 0 :
    num -= 1
    if num == 6:
        continue
    print(num)
    printed_numbers += 1
print("{} Numbers Printed Successfully.".format(printed_numbers))

NOTE : I'm using printed_numbers because if the input is less than 6 you will print all the numbers else you'll have one less. You can use this condition instead.

Answer 4

You are print the number before the condition. chnage the code as follows.

num = int(input())

while int(num) > 0 :
    num-=1
    if num != 6:
        print(num)
    elif num == 1:
      print("8 Numbers Printed Successfully.")
      break
#i want to remove number six
