What happens to a string of light bulbs connected in parallel if one bulb goes out?

If the light bulbs are connected in parallel then each bulb is having a separate circuit.

If one light bulb goes out, then the circuit linked to this bulb out stops working whereas the resist of the bulb will continue to glow as their circuit is completely working.

Thus, if one bulb goes out in the given case, then the rest of the bulbs will continue to glow.
