Purpose::
To branch unconditionally out of the normal program sequence to a specified line number.
Syntax:
GOTO line number
Comments:
line number is any valid line number within the program.
If line number is an executable statement, that statement and those following are executed. If it is a non-executable statement, execution proceeds at the first executable statement encountered after line number.
Examples:
10 READ R 20 PRINT "R ="; R; 30 A = 3.14*R^2 40 PRINT "AREA ="; A 50 GOTO 10 60 DATA 5, 7, 12 RUN R = 5 AREA = 78.5 R = 7 AREA = 153.86 R = 12 AREA = 452.16 Out of data in 10
The "out of data" advisory is generated when the program attempts to read a fourth DATA statement (which does not exist) in line 60.
