GoTo

[freesoft_2000]

Hi everyone,

I need to use something in java that is similar to the C language goto statement.

This is what i have in a function

public int ret()
{

if
{
//something
//something

//This is the part where i need to jump to the end of the
//function and not exit the function
}

//This is the part i need to jump to

//some more code
//some more code
}

Is there a way in which the above problem can be got around. Usually in the C language i would use the goto statement. I can't use a labeled break here as there is no loop in my program.

I hope someone can help me this problem

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

It sounds like you just need a nested if..else. So inside your main "if", you'd have something like:

if (bypass == false) {   //whatever condition you use
    // keep executing code
    //....
} else {  //bypass is true
    // skip earlier code and continue here
    // ....
}

Java actually defines the keyword "goto", but I think it was a practical joke on the part of the language spec team . . .
