Continue statement in C
Sometimes in programming during the execution of loop we need to take control beginning of the loop , for this we need to bypass the statements which present inside the loop and not yet been executed . By using keyword continue we can do this . when continue statement usually declared inside the any body of loop like for loop, while loop, do while loop etc , the compiler automatically transfer control to the beginning of the loop. And remaining statements after the continue keywords are skipped.
Syntax: continue;
Example of Continue statement
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int j;
clrscr();
for ( j=0; j<=10; j++)
{
if (j==5)
{
continue;
}
printf("%d ", j);
}
getch();
return 0;
}
C – break statement
Sometimes in programming we during the execution we want jump out of the loop instantly , we use break statement is inside a loop we can do this, so the control automatically transfer directly out of loop and passed to first statement after the loop.
Syntax: break;
Example of Break statement
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i =0;
while(i<=50)
{
printf("value of variable i is: %d\n",i);
if (i==2)
{
break;
}
i++;
}
printf("Out of while-loop after break when value of i is : %d\n",i);
return 0;
}
C – goto statement
The goto statement is rarely used by programmers because it makes program confusing, less readable and complex code . Also the control of the program won’t be easy to trace, this makes testing and debugging very difficult.
When a goto statement is used in a C program, the control jumps directly to the label mentioned in the goto statement.
Syntax:
goto label_name;
..
..
label_name: C-statements
Lable in c
A label used as variable name, and it is followed by a colon. We can attach lable to any function as in goto function and its scope is for entire function.
Syntax:
label_name: C-statements
Example of goto and label statement
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int i, sum=0;
clrscr();
for(i = 0; i<=20; i++)
{
sum = sum+i;
if(i==3
{
goto addition;
}
}
addition:
printf("%d", sum);
getch();
return 0;
}
