JavaScript Statements
JavaScript Statement Identifiers
JavaScript statements start with a statement identifier to identify the JavaScript action to be performed.
Statement identifiers are reserved words and cannot be used as variable names (or any other things).
The following table lists all JavaScript statement identifiers:

| continue | Breaks one iteration (in the loop) if a specified condition occurs, and continues with the next iteration in the loop |
| debugger | Stops the execution of JavaScript, and calls (if available) the debugging function |
| do ... while | Executes a block of statements and repeats the block while a condition is true |
| for | Loops through a block of code a number of times |
| for ... in | Loops through the properties of an object |
