goto Statements

The goto statement allows unconditional branching to another program section. The form of the goto statement is as follows:

goto label;

The destination is marked by a label. Legal destinations include the current level of the goto statement or outside of the current loop.

For C++ Programmers C++ goto statements can transfer control to anywhere in a program. C# goto statements must always jump at the same level or higher out of its enclosing block.

The following code shows how a goto statement could be used.

 do { // some processing while (/* some Boolean condition */) ...
