[Tutor] Else vs. Continue

[Rafael Knuth]

Hej there,

I stumbled upon the "continue" statement and to me it looks like it
does exactly the same as else. I tested both else and continue in a
little program and I don't see any differences between both. Is my
assumption correct or wrong? If the latter is the case: Can you give
me examples of continue usage that couldn't be done with else?

Here's my code sample I mentioned above:

for num in range(2,10):
   if num % 2 == 0:
       print("Found an even number", num)
       continue
   print("Found a number", num)

Same program with else:

for num in range(2,10):
   if num % 2 == 0:
       print("Found an even number", num)
   else:
       print("Found a number", num)

Thanks in advance!

All the best,

Raf
