• continue
• goto
• return

break Statement

• It is used to transfer program control out of loop or a switch statement.
• Syntax:
break ;
• If a break statement is executed then program control is transferred to next statement following the loop or switch statement.
Note: It can only be use in loops and switch statement.

  #include⁢stdio.h>
  main()
  {
    int i=1;
    while(i<=10)
    {  
        printf("%d",i);
        if(i==5)
            break;
        i++;
    }
    printf("Prog. End");
  }

  1 2 3 4 5 prog. End
  

continue statement

  #include⁢stdio.h>
  main()
  {
    int i=0;
    while(i⁢10)
    {
        i++;
        if(i%2==0)
        continue;
        printf("%d",i);
    }
    printf("Prog. End");
  }

  1 3 5 7 9 prog. End
  

goto statement

• It is used to transfer program control at any point within our function.
• A goto statement provides an unconditional jump from the 'goto' to a labeled statement in the same function.
• Here label can be any Identifier and it can be set anywhere in the program above or below the goto statement.

  #include⁢stdio.h>
  main()
  {
    int i=0;
    JAP:printf("Ram");
    i++;
    if(i⁢15)
        goto JAP;
    else
        goto SATHI;
    printf("Laxman");
    SATHI:printf("Seeta");
    printf("RamayanaEnd");
    }
