break and continue

Read first Task 16

break leaves the loop, continue skips to the next turn.

Task

What does continue do inside a loop?

The editor already contains a starting point. Change it until every check passes — the Next task button unlocks when it does.

What you start with

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int paid_months = 0;
    for (int month = 1; month <= 6; month++) {
        if (month == 4) {
            continue; // month 4 was free
        }
        if (month > 5) {
            break;
        }
        paid_months++;
    }
    cout << paid_months << endl;
    return 0;
}
