break and continue statements have been available for loop control for many years, and others functionallity has been added such as Perl's redo. From today's Ruby Course, here's a table that compares these loop controls in Ruby to similar commands in the other languages that I have been discussing with this week's course.

C/Java	Perl	Ruby	effect
break	last	last	Get me out the loop NOW!
continue	next	next	go for the next loop iteration
-	redo	redo	rerun current loop iteration
-	-	retry	let's start the loop again, should we?
