Continue Statement

The CONTINUE statement is used inside a loop only. When the program controller finds the CONTINUE statement it quits the current loop pass. Hence all other statements after the CONTINUE will not be executed inside that loop. The program controller then goes to the next loop iteration.

Whenever the program controller finds Rice item it just ignores it and goes to next loop iteration. That is why Rice item is not coming to the output.
