The Fortran continue and the C continue do completely different things.
In Fortran, continue does nothing and is a convenient place to hang
a statement label. In C, a continue statement causes the rest of the
innermost loop to be skipped and for the next pass of the loop to begin
(ie. the "cycle" statement in some languages). The C feature which
resembles a Fortran continue is ";" - the NULL statement - same as
Ada.
