A statement found in many computer programming languages. It is a combination of the English words go and to. When executed it causes an unconditional transfer of control (a "jump") to another statement. The jumped-to statement is specified using some kind of label, which may be an identifier or a line number depending on the language. At the machine code level a goto is a form of branch or jump statement.
An unconditional goto is a goto that has no associated conditional expression. The following example demonstrates conditional and unconditional goto statements. int x=rand(); if (x) goto label_1; // conditional goto (when x is non-zero) else goto label_2; // conditional goto (when x is zero) label_1: // ... goto label_3; // unconditional goto (jump past label_2) label_2: // ... label_3: // ...
AGAIN: puts ("c"); goto AGAIN;
goto is a statement, not a programming style.
Because goto statements usually result in hard to read code. This was a feature of C++ which the creators of Java decided they didn't want to allow.
A 'goto' statement immediately moves the execution of code to another part of the program. This makes the code difficult to follow and to debug. It is better practice to use If-then-else constructs to structure the program code.

It isn't. True, you can write bad code with goto, but you can do that without goto as well.
