Jump statements are used to interrupt the normal flow of program.
Types of Jump Statements are:
1. goto statement
2. break statement
3. continue statement
The goto statement is a control statement which is used to transfer the control from one place to another place without any condition in a program.

A break statement is a jump statement which terminates the execution of loop and the control is transferred to resume normal execution after the body of the loop.
The continue statement works quite similar to the break statement. Instead of terminating the loop (break statement), continue statement forces the loop to continue or execute the next iteration. When the continue statement is executed in the loop, the code inside the loop following the continue statement will be skipped and next iteration of the loop will begin.
