"pass" is a do-nothing statement. It literally does nothing. "continue" is only allowed inside a for-loop or while-loop, and means "jump to the start of the loop". It is related to "break". Consider the difference between these three loops: >>> for x in (1,2,3): ... print(x) ... pass ... print(x, "again") ... 1 1 again 2 2 again 3 3 again >>> >>> >>> for x in (1,2,3): ... print(x) ... continue ... print(x, "again") ... 1 2 3 >>> >>> >>> for x in (1,2,3): ... print(x) ... break ... print(x, "again") ... 1 >>> -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
