=== Goto ===
{{main article|GOTO}}

Although the [[Keyword (computing)|keyword]] may either be in upper or lower case depending on the language, it is usually written as:
    '''goto''' ''label''
The effect of a goto statement is to cause the next statement to be executed to be the statement appearing at (or immediately after) the indicated label.
