continue

is an expression in Kotlin (as well as

break

return

, and

throw

). It's not exactly the same thing as a filtered loop, but allows writing code like

Copy code

for (x in xs) {
  val y = foo(x) ?: continue
  if (!condition(x, y)) continue
  doStuff(x, y)
}

which feels somewhat more flexible compared to a specialized syntax sugar for filtered loops.
