Skip one trip around a loop with continue.

Every line, explained
for number in range(1, 6):- range can take TWO numbers: range(1, 6) counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: it starts at the first number and stops just before the second.
if number == 3:- if checks the condition after it. Two things to notice: the line ends with a colon :, and the lines that belong to the if are indented 4 spaces underneath. Python uses indentation to know exactly which code is "inside" the if. If the condition is True the indented code runs; otherwise Python skips it. (The editor indents for you here; in a real editor you would type the 4 spaces.) We single out the moment number is 3.
continue- continue skips the REST of this trip around the loop and jumps straight to the next number. When number is 3, the print below never happens, so 3 is missing from the output.
print(number)- print(...) shows whatever is inside its round brackets in the terminal, then moves to a new line. It is written all in lowercase, and it needs both brackets. Prints 1, 2, 4 and 5, but not 3, because continue skipped past this line that time.
