The goto Keyword in C Language

The goto statement is used for unconditional jump from one part of the program to another part of the program. It is always suggested not to use goto statement as this reduces the readability of the program. Using goto statement is considered as poor programming approach.
The goto statement consists of two parts: label and goto keyword.

Example:

/*use of goto statement*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main(){
int a;
goto label;
a = 10;
printf(“%d”, a);
label:
a = 20;
printf(“%d”, a);
}
Output:
20
