break vs continue vs goto comparison Dry Run in C

break vs continue vs goto comparison is an interactive C dry run visualizer from the Control programs section. Study the source code, then use the execution controls to follow each step, variable update, highlighted line, and console output.

This page provides a browser-based dry run with source-code highlighting, auto-scroll, voice narration controls, and execution output for learning the program step by step.

break vs continue vs goto comparison Program Code

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int i;
    // break - exits loop
    printf("break: ");
    for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        if(i == 3) break;
        printf("%d ", i);
    }
    
    // continue - skips iteration
    printf("\ncontinue: ");
    for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        if(i == 3) continue;
        printf("%d ", i);
    }
    
    // goto - jumps to label
    printf("\ngoto: ");
    for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        if(i == 3) goto end;
        printf("%d ", i);
    }
    end:
    printf("(jumped out)");
    
    return 0;
}
