 The combination "infinite loop + `break` as needed" is great for situations when the condition must be checked not in the beginning/end of the loop, but in the middle, or even in several places of the body.

 From a technical point of view it's identical to the example above. Surely, we can just wrap the code in the `if` block instead of `continue`.
 
-But as a side-effect we got one more figure brackets nesting level. If the code inside `if` is longer than a few lines, that may decrease the overall readability.

 If we don't want to do anything on the current iteration and would like to forward to the next one, the `continue` directive does it.
 
-`Break/continue` support labels before the loop. A label is the only way for `break/continue` to escape the nesting and go to the outer loop.
