C Goto

« Prev Next »

In C language jump statement is called as goto statement.


The label is an identifier in syntax. When goto statement is occurred, control of the program jumps to label: and starts executing the code.

Goto Statements

Syntax:-

goto label;
……;
    
label:
statement;

Example:-

#include<stdio.h>   
void main(){  
    int i=0;  
    for(i=1;i<=5;i++){   
        goto num;
    }  
    num:
    printf("Goto Onlinetpoint");   
}
Run ›
notepad
It is highly discouraged because it makes difficult to trace the control flow of the program and making hard to understand and modify. If any program uses the goto can be rewritten so that it does not need the goto.
