Goto statement in C++ with example

The goto statement is used for transferring the control of a program to a given label. The syntax of goto statement looks like this:

Syntax of goto statement

label1:
...
...
goto label2;
...
..
label2:
...

In a program we have any number of goto and label statements, the goto statement is followed by a label name, whenever goto statement is encountered, the control of the program jumps to the label specified in the goto statement.

#include <iostream>  
using namespace std;  
int main(){     
int num; cout<<"Enter a number: "; 
cin>>num;     
if (num % 2==0){        
goto print;     
}     
else {        
cout<<"Odd Number";     
}       
print:     cout<<"Even Number";    
 return 0;  
}

Output

Enter a number: 42
Even Number
