is it possible that the code skip continue?

Question

Is there any case that the program will skip continue? This is the code:

     while(/*something*/){
           if(/*something*/){
                while(true) {
                    //do something

                }
                System.out.print("Hello");
                continue;
            }
//do something2
    }

I would put my whole code but it's very long to trace. i want to know if there is a known cases that the continue will be skipped. My program enters the big while-loop, enters if-statement but sometimes it doesn't continue and skip to //do something2 . There is no breaks or anything like that.

Why would you think that there are cases it wouldn't? What are you trying to accomplish? If you put any control flow statement before it will not be hit. — mkobit, Dec 15 '14 at 17:50
Yes, if there is a `break` statement inside your `\\do something` block. — ssnielsen, Dec 15 '14 at 17:50
@MikeKobit I just updated the question. maybe it is clear now — onlyforthis, Dec 15 '14 at 18:02
@hzjw show a complete code that reproduce the behaviour you are observing. Otherwise people can only guess. — assylias, Dec 15 '14 at 18:05

while(true) will always continue if the end of the loop is reached. You can stop the while loop by using break:

while(true) {
    //doSomething

    if (myCondition) 
        break;
}

If myCondition is true, you will break out of the while loop.
