Goto statement

when i have goto master, should the _menu() not be executed again. what is happening is that the function is not being executed and the switch is executing the next case in the list. help me out please.

Code:

/*Main----------------------------------*/
/*--------------------------------------*/
int main()
{
      top:

      /*validate master user*/	
      if(_validate_master(_menu())!=1)
      {
	  goto top;
      }else{

      master:
	
	 switch (_master_menu()){
	    case 1:   if(_newaccount()!=0){goto master;}	/*if insert unsuccessful goto master main*/
	    case 2:   if(_cust_cntrl()!=0){goto master;}
            // case 3:
	    default:  	goto master;

         }
      }


      

return 0;         
}
/*--------------------------------------*/

Ehm, my English is not very good, but I'll try to understand your question. If you reach the line with "goto master", then the program goes to the line labeled "master", but it doesn't. Perhaps that is because _new_account() returns 0? In that case the next case will be executed. To prevent from executing, you should use the keyword break.

Code:

switch (condition)
{
  case X:
    /* Action */
    break;
  case Y:
    /* Action */
    break;
  default:
    /* Action */
    break;
}

BTW, why do you use goto? Also use code-tags, they make code more readable.

Code:

int main ()
{
  int result = 0;

  while (result != 1)
    result = _validate_master ();

  /* If the while-loop above finishes, then result == 1 */

  while (result != 0)
  {
    switch (_master_menu ())
    {
      case 1:
        result = _newaccount ();
        break;
      case 2:
        result = _cust_cntrl ();
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  }

  return 0;
}

Hey don't forget to use break in your switch statements, most of the times you will need to break them, else, not just one case will run, but, all other cases.
