goto statement in c
A goto statement in C programming language provides an unconditional jump from the goto to a labeled statement in the same function.
NOTE: Use of goto statement is highly discouraged in any programming language because it makes difficult to trace the control flow of a program, making the program hard to understand and hard to modify. Any program that uses a goto can be rewritten so that it doesn’t need the goto.
Syntax:
The syntax for a goto statement in C is as follows:
goto label; .. . label: statement;
Here label can be any plain text except C keyword and it can be set anywhere in the C program above or below to goto statement.

Example:
#include <stdio.h> int main () { /* local variable definition */ int a = 10; /* do loop execution */ LOOP:do { if( a == 15) { /* skip the iteration */ a = a + 1; goto LOOP; } printf("value of a: %d\n", a); a++; }while( a < 20 ); return 0; }
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
value of a: 10 value of a: 11 value of a: 12 value of a: 13 value of a: 14 value of a: 16 value of a: 17 value of a: 18 value of a: 19
