How to skip a number in java

Hello to all.

I have this code for my class and I what I am trying to do is decrement the number 39 by two so that odd numbers show, until I get to zero using the "for loop" The issue is that I am suppose to exclude the numbers 33, and 3 when it prints the numbers out. I can't figure that part out, and I can't find it anywhere in the chapter that I had to read on this. Can someone please help me understand how i should do this? This is the code I have so far, but I took out the extra for statements for clarity, beacuse I thought they would help me but they don't.

If I am suppose to use if statements, I don't know how to do this excluding 3 and 33.



Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import java.util.*;
  2.  
  3. public class loop
  4. {
  5.  
  6. public static void main (String[] args)
  7. {
  8.  
  9. int i;
  10.  
  11.  
  12. for (i = 39; i >= 0; i = i - 2)
  13.  
  14.  
  15. System.out.print(i + " ");
  16.  
  17. System.out.println();
  18. }
  19. }
