How to represent a loop with a "continue" statement from C in a PlantUML activity diagram

I need to convert C code below to an activity diagram using PlantUML.

What is a good solution to implement the "continue" statement from the code below ?

    void function_1(){
    int a = 0;
    int b =0;
      for (int i; i < 8; i++)
      {
        if (i < 2)
        {
           continue;
        }
        if (i > 4)
        {
            a = 1;
        }           
        else
        {
           b = 2;
        }
      }
    }
Solution

  • I do not know C but it seems to me that one way of representing your logic in PlantUML would be as follows: 

    start
while (i < 8 ?)
  if (i > 4 ?) then (yes)
      :a = 1;
  else (no)
      if (i >= 2 ?) then (yes)
      :b = 2;
      else (no)
      endif
  endif
 endwhile (no)
:Carry out the next task;
end

    The "Carry out the next task" task is a placeholder. It should be replaced with whatever your application is supposed to do next.

    Which yields the following diagramme:
