Source Code: goto Keyword In C Programming Language

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int count = 1;

    while(count <= 10)
    {
        if(count == 6)
            goto six; // six is the label

        printf("%d IBM\n", count++);
    }

    six:
        printf("This is sixth loop\n");

    return 0;
}

Output
1 IBM
2 IBM
3 IBM
4 IBM
5 IBM
This is sixth loop

Working of goto Statement in C Programming Language

goto statement should always have a label associated with it. In above program label is six. Once count value is 6, control encounters goto six; Control searches for label six inside the program. Once it gets the label six, it executes the statements associated with label six.
