Is goto statement supported in C#? How about Java?..

Answer / ranganathkini

Yes goto is supported in C# and is not supported in Java.
They are quite handy when writing switch statements where in
moving from one case label to another. Example:

Console.Write( "Enter name of country: " );
string country = Console.ReadLine();
switch( country ) {
case "India":
Console.WriteLine( "Welcome to India" );
break;
case "USA":
Console.WriteLine( "Welcome to USA" );
break;
default:
goto case "India";
}

There also a couple of restrictions for using goto
statements in C#:

1. U cannot jump into a statement block such as a loop.
2. U cannot jump out of a class.
3. U cannot exit a finally block.

Java strongly resents the use of the goto statements and
considers it to be a bad practice for programming. In fact
some of the early Java compilers wud show a warning if the
programmer used goto in his program. The message wud be as
follows:

KeywordTest.java:4: 'goto' not supported. Duh.
