C# Goto Statement

The C# goto statement is also known jump statement. It is used to transfer control to the other part of the program. It unconditionally jumps to the specified label.

It can be used to transfer control from deeply nested loop or switch case label.

Currently, it is avoided to use goto statement in C# because it makes the program complex.

Example

Let's see the simple example of goto statement in C#.

snippet

using System;
public class GotoExample
    {
      public static void Main(string[] args)
      {
      ineligible:
          Console.WriteLine("You are not eligible to vote!");

      Console.WriteLine("Enter your age:\n");
      int age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
      if (age < 18){
              goto ineligible;
      }
      else
      {
              Console.WriteLine("You are eligible to vote!"); 
      }
      }
   }

Output

You are not eligible to vote! Enter your age: 11 You are not eligible to vote! Enter your age: 5 You are not eligible to vote! Enter your age: 26 You are eligible to vote!
