The goto statement is a jump statement which is sometimes also referred to as unconditional jump statement. The goto statement can be used to jump from anywhere to anywhere within a function. CODE 👇👇👇 #include <stdio.h> int main() { int sum=0; for(int i = 0; i<=10; i++) { sum = sum+i; if(i==5){ goto addition; } } addition: printf("%d", sum); return 0; } OUTPUT 👉15 -------------------------------------------------------- hope you got the answer

break and continue statements within loops are other types of jump statements.

sams answer is correct but remember that the use of “goto” is not recommeded and thats the reason you cant find anithing about it. problably is still there for old legacy code.
