Switch Statement

 It is also a conditional statement.

 The switch statement uses the value of an integer expression to determine which group of
statements to branch through.
 Each value is called a case, and the variable is checked for each case.

Goto statement

 Unconditional branch of execution

 Used for transferring the control of a program.
 It allows the program’s execution flow to jump to a specified location within the function.

Prepared by Aqsa Gul, Lecturer Institute of Management Sciences Peshawar

 There are two ways to call the goto statement
goto label;
//block of statements
label:  ;

label:  ;
//block of statements
goto  label;

 Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
// Program to check greater number using goto statement
int main()
{
int i, j;
i =2;j=5;
if(i > j)
goto iGreater;
else
goto jGreater;
iGreater:
cout<<i<<" is greater";
return;
jGreater:
cout<<j<<" is greater";
return 0;
