Skipping for loop with continue does not work

Hi, I'm trying to skip the iteration to the next one if i is equal to 1, but my code does not work:

for v = 0.5:0.05:1.5
    if (v == 1) 
        continue; 
    end
    disp(v);
end

the out is:

 0.5000
 0.5500
 0.6000
 0.6500
 0.7000
 0.7500
 0.8000
 0.8500
 0.9000
 0.9500
 1.0500
 1.1000
 1.1500
 1.2000
 1.2500
 1.3000
 1.3500
 1.4000
 1.4500
 1.5000
 
 

which contains also 1 !!!

How can I fix it ?

Which output line contains 1 ? You show

0.9500
1.0500

as adjacent entries, but neither of those are 1.

Sorry, you are right. The code works ?

[Walter Roberson]

However if you had asked to match (say) 1.15 then there might not have been a match, because 0.05 is not exactly representable in MATLAB, and 0.5:0.05:1.5 accumulates round-off error.

v = (50:5:150)/100 

would have different round-off error.
