continue, how to skip part of a cycle

I have this code, that is supposed to skip to the following k value when count reaches 3

clear 
clc
p=0;

for k=1:10
    count=0;
    while k-p>3
        k
        p=p+0.25;
        count=count+1;
        if count>=2
            continue
        end
    end
end

but it doesn't happen.

What haven't I understood?

Many thanks

Your if-test and continue statement are inside the inner while loop, so they apply to that loop, not the for-loop. Maybe use a break to get out of the while loop if that is what you want to do. (The way you have it coded, the continue statement does nothing since it simply goes to the next iteration of the while loop and isn't skipping over any code)

Many thanks, short but clear!
