Executing a continue statement in C causes the program to jump to the end of the current loop iteration. The stated rule for translating a for loop into a while loop needs some refinement when dealing with continue statements. For example, consider the following code:

A. What would we get if we naively applied our rule for translating the for loop into a while loop? What would be wrong with this code?

B. How could you replace the continue statement with a goto statement to ensure that the while loop correctly duplicates the behavior of the for loop?
