while里的while里的continue（嵌套中的continue）

问题

嵌套中的continue会使程序跳到哪里呢？我翻了一下《C Primer Plus》第7章并从中了解到：嵌套中的continue仅仅影响“包含它的最里层的结构”。这里我利用第8章中的一段代码来印证这一特性。

代码如下

//guess.c -- 一个低效且错误的猜数程序 
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
	int guess = 1;
	printf("Pick an integer from 1 to 100. I will try to ");
	printf("guess it .\nRespond with a y if my guess is ");
	printf("right and with\nan n if it is wrong.\n");
	printf("Uh...is your number %d?\n", guess);
	while (getchar() != 'y'){
		printf("well,then,is it %d?\n", ++guess);
		while (getchar () != '\n')
			continue;
	}
	printf("I knew I could do it!\n");
	return 0;
}

运行结果如下

Pick an integer from 1 to 100. I will try to guess it .
Respond with a y if my guess is right and with
an n if it is wrong.
Uh...is your number 1?
n
well,then,is it 2?
no
well,then,is it 3?
no sir
well,then,is it 4?
yes
I knew I could do it!

总结

不管是输入n，no还是no sir，n后面剩余的部分（包括\n）都会被 while (getchar () != '\n')以及后面的continue给吃掉，这说明嵌套中的continue仅仅影响“包含它的最里层的结构”。
