Why is this an issue?

Restricting the number of break and continue statements in a loop is done in the interest of good structured programming.

Only one break or one continue statement is acceptable in a loop, since it facilitates optimal coding. If there is more than one, the code should be refactored to increase readability.

Noncompliant code example

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {     // Noncompliant - 2 continue - one might be tempted to add some logic in between
  if (i % 2 == 0) {
    continue;
  }

  if (i % 3 == 0) {
    continue;
  }

  System.out.println("i = " + i);
}
