How to use continue in jQuery each() loop?

In my application i am using AJAX call. I want to use break and continue in this jQuery loop.

$('.submit').filter(':checked').each(function() {

});

We can break both a $(selector).each() loop and a $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

return false; // this is equivalent of 'break' for jQuery loop

return;       // this is equivalent of 'continue' for jQuery loop

---

Note that $(selector).each() and $.each() are different functions.

$('.submit').filter(':checked').each(function() {
    //This is same as 'continue'
    if(something){
        return true;
    }
    //This is same as 'break'
    if(something){
        return false;
    }
});

return or return false are not the same as continue. If the loop is inside a function the remainder of the function will not execute as you would expect with a true "continue".
