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

They are reserved for future use (see: Java Language Keywords)

The keywords const and goto are reserved, even though they are not currently used.

The reason why there is no goto statement in Java can be found in "The Java Language Environment":

Java has no goto statement. Studies illustrated that goto is (mis)used more often than not simply "because it's there". Eliminating goto led to a simplification of the language--there are no rules about the effects of a goto into the middle of a for statement, for example. Studies on approximately 100,000 lines of C code determined that roughly 90 percent of the goto statements were used purely to obtain the effect of breaking out of nested loops. As mentioned above, multi-level break and continue remove most of the need for goto statements.
