Continue in C language

What are the uses of Continue 

Continue statement is transfers execution control at the top of the loop where the condition checks. All statements after continue skips. The closing bracket of the loop does the same task. Continue statements should always be inside of a condition i.e. if, otherwise you may face infinite loop. Continue statement in C language I feel that the least useful feature.

Example : 

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

     Example of continue

  ##########################*/

void main()

{

     int n;

     clrscr();

     n=0;

     while(n<=10)

     {

          n++;

          if(n<=5)

              continue;

          printf("\t%d",n);

     }

     getch();

}

Output :

6  7  8  9  10

when n is less than 6 continue to run and transfer the execution control to the beginning of the loop.
