The goto statement
The goto statement
The goto statement is used to move the program control at a particular position. In a difficult programming situation it seems so easy to use a goto to take the control where we want.
The goto statement requires a label for operation. (A label is a valid identifier followed by a colon.) Furthermore, the label must be in the same function as the goto that uses it— you cannot jump between functions.
The general form of the goto statement is
goto label ;
