[Tutor] While loop

[Najam Us Saqib]

Hi,

Would you please help me by explaining that why " 5 " is skipped and not printed in the following program?

Thank you.
Najam.

count = 0
while True:
    count += 1
    # end loop if count is greater than 10
    if count > 10:
        break # means "break out of the loop"
    # skip 5
    if count == 5:
        continue # means "Jump back to the top of the looop"
    print count

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")

Output:

1
2
3
4
6
7
8
9
10


Press the enter key to exit.
