why continue is not working inside if statement ?

[sasikrishnasamy]

Can any one tell me why continue statement is not working in if ? i tried with following code

outA:
 if(userValue==randomValue)
 {
int luck=s.nextInt();
int randNo=(int)(Math.random()*(userValue*2+(1)));
int arrValue=point[i];
arrValue+=userValue;
 point[i]=arrValue;
continue outA ;
}

but it shows error

The continue statement skips the current iteration of a for, while , or do-while loop. Since yu don't have any of those, it's not a valid use of continue.
Look at the second part of this tutorial

continue and break are for loops. Not for condition statements.
