The keywords continue, pass, and break serve distinct purposes in controlling the flow of loops and conditional statements in Python.<br />Continue: When encountered within a loop (for or while), the continue statement skips the rest of the current iteration and proceeds to the next iteration.<br /> for i in range(10):<br /> if i % 2 == 0:<br /> continue # Skip even numbers<br /> print(i) # Prints only odd numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9<br />pass: The pass statement is a null operation; it does nothing. It acts as a placeholder where a statement is syntactically required but no action needs to be performed.
