Branch Statements
Syntax
goto label ;
goto * expression ;
continue;
break;
return [expression] ;
Description
Branch statements transfer control unconditionally to another place in the executing
program. The branch statements are goto, continue, break, and return.
Examples
These four fragments all accomplish the same thing (they print out the multiples of 5 between
1 and 100):
i = 0;
while (i < 100)
{
if (++i % 5)
continue; /* unconditional jump to top of while loop */
printf ("%2d ", i);
}
printf ("\n");
i = 0;
L: while (i < 100)
{
if (++i % 5)
goto L: /* unconditional jump to top of while loop */
printf ("%2d ",i);
}
printf ("\n");
i = 0;
