Is there a goto statement in Java?

Question

I\'m confused about this. Most of us have been told that there isn\'t any goto statement in Java.

But I found that it is one of the keywords in Java. Where can it be

Answer 1

Because it's not supported and why would you want a goto keyword that did nothing or a variable named goto?

Although you can use break label; and continue label; statements to effectively do what goto does. But I wouldn't recommend it.

public static void main(String [] args) {

     boolean t = true;

     first: {
        second: {
           third: {
               System.out.println("Before the break");

               if (t) {
                  break second;
               }

               System.out.println("Not executed");
           }

           System.out.println("Not executed - end of second block");
        }

        System.out.println("End of third block");
     }
}
