title: Java continue at the end of if
body: <p>I have some example code from a book and the author is always using an continue at the end of an if.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int a = 5;
  if(a == 5)
  {
  // some code
  continue;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now for me this doesn't make any sense.
  Might there be some kind of quality management reasoning behind it or am I just missing some bigger point?</p>
