I would think that if the code took the goto 1000, that the loop would not
be executed, and control would simply pass to the next statement after the
continue. I agree, it is not very clean coding, and would personally have done
it differently. The statement number referenced in the do statement does not
have to be a continue statement, it can be any executable statement.
