Jump Statements: Goto Break Continue Exit

The document discusses different jump statements in C programming including goto(), continue(), exit(), break(), and labels. Goto() transfers control to any other statement within the same function, violating structured programming rules. Break() terminates a case in a switch statement or loop. Continue() skips the remaining statements in a loop body and proceeds to the next iteration. Exit() immediately terminates the entire program.

It actually violates the rules of a strictly structured programming language.


They reduce program reliability and make program difficult to maintain.

Jump Statements (2) statement


The break statement is used to terminate a case in a switch statement. It can also be used for abrupt termination of a loop. When the break statement is encountered in a loop, the loop is terminated immediately and control is passed to the statement following the loop.

Jump Statements (3)


statement
The continue statement causes the next iteration of the enclosing loop to begin. When this statement is encountered, the remaining statements in the body of the loop are skipped and the control is passed on to the re-initialization step.
