Can the R next Statement be used in a while loop?

The next statement in R can be used in a while loop to skip the current iteration and proceed to the next iteration. It is not limited to for loops and works in any loop where you need to skip certain iterations based on specific conditions.

# Example using next in a while loop
i <- 1

while (i <= 5) {
    i <- i + 1
    if (i == 3) {
        next  # Skip when i is 3
    }
    print(i)
}

# Output:
# [1] 2
# [1] 4
# [1] 5
# [1] 6

In this example, when i equals 3, the next statement skips the rest of the loop body and continues with the next iteration, effectively skipping the print statement for that iteration.
