Challenge: Skip Even Numbers

Explore how to control loop execution in Python by using the continue statement to skip even numbers within a for loop. This lesson helps you understand condition checking and loop flow to print only odd numbers from 1 to 10, enhancing your ability to automate tasks with programming logic.

We'll cover the following...

Sometimes you want a loop to skip certain values instead of stopping completely.

You can do this by:

Checking a condition inside the loop
Using continue to skip the current step and move on

Your task:

Use a for loop to go through the numbers 1 to 10
Check whether each number is even
Skip even numbers
Print only the numbers that are not skipped

💡 Things to keep in mind:

The % operator can help you check even vs odd numbers
continue skips the rest of the loop for the current number
The loop itself should still run from 1 to 10

When you click Run, your output should show only odd numbers.
