Continue your break

What this SystemVerilog loop-control interview question tests

This is an easy question on SystemVerilog fundamentals, specifically the semantics of the continue keyword within loop structures. It checks whether you understand how control flow behaves when you skip to the next iteration, and how this interacts with loop conditions and increments.

Questions like this appear in hardware design and verification interviews to ensure candidates have a solid grasp of language syntax before moving to more complex testbench logic or RTL design. The focus is on precise understanding of when and how iteration proceeds after a continue statement, rather than on complex algorithmic thinking.
