title: An empty if statement
body: <p>I have this set up:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for i=1:10
      if (condition1)
  
      elseif (condition2)
          (do something)
      else
          (do something)
      end
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For <code>condition1</code>, if the condition is met I don't want anything to happen, I just want to run the loop again with the next value of <code>i</code>. How do I go about this? Can I just leave it blank below the <code>if</code> statement, or is there a more elegant way to do this? If I remove the first <code>if</code> statement, what would happen during the loop if none of the other conditions are met? </p>
  
  <p>If possible I would like to avoid running the first <code>if</code> statement, as for my problem it has the highest complexity. It is essential I check <code>condition1</code>, because if it is met then I want to move onto the next value of <code>i</code>. I hope this question makes sense.</p>
