goto statement in C programming language
In this C tutorial, We learn how goto statement use in the C program / code ,The goto statement is known as jump statement in C programming, goto statement define using goto keyword, The goto statment can be used to repeat some part of the code for a particular condition. We can using more than one goto statement in single program with different labels.
Def.
The goto statement can be used to jump from anywhere to anywhere within a function.
goto statement in C programming provides an unconditional jump from the 'goto' to a labeled statement in the same function
Syntax
The syntax for a goto statement in C is as follows −
goto label;
............
............
label: statement;
Following is a simple program for goto statement
include <stdio.h>
// function to check even or not
void checkEvenOrNot(int num)
{
if (num % 2 == 0)
// jump to even
goto even;
else
// jump to odd
goto odd;
even:
printf("%d is even", num);
// return if even
return;
odd:
printf("%d is odd", num);
}
int main() {
int num = 46;
checkEvenOrNot(num);
return 0;
}
Use of goto can be simply avoided using break and continue statements.
