Summary

This episode explains how continue and break statements work in C++ loops, including their behavior in range-based for loops. Jason demonstrates that continue skips the rest of the current iteration and resumes with the next loop iteration, while break exits the loop entirely. He discusses why these control flow statements can be considered code smells and suggests refactoring loops with breaks into function calls with return statements for better readability and maintainability.
