C Programming: Goto Statements

The document discusses control flow statements in C programming including break, continue, and goto. It provides examples of using goto to alter the normal sequential execution of a program by transferring control to elsewhere. Specifically, it demonstrates both backward jumps when the label is before the goto statement, creating a loop, and forward jumps when the label is after to skip statements.

 The flow of execution is transferred from one

part of a program to another part without


carrying out any conditional test.
 C supports
◦ break statement
◦ continue statement
◦ goto construct

break & continue Statements, goto


Constructs
• Format:
label:
{
statement;
}
.
.
.
goto label;
where label is an identifier and not a number.
 In C programming, goto statement is used for altering the
normal sequence of program execution by transferring control
to some other part of the program.
 The goto require a label in order to identify the place where the
branch is to be made
 A label is any valid variable name and must be followed by a
colon
 The label is placed immediately before the statement where to
control is to be transferred
 The label: can be anywhere in the program either before or after
the goto label; statement.
 goto breaks the normal sequential execution of
the program
 Backward Jump: If the label: is before the
statement goto label; a loop will be formed and
some statements will be executed repeatedly
 Forward Jump: if the label: is placed after the
goto label; some statement will be skipped
