Jumping from one method to another using goto statement

Question

Can i use goto statement to jump from one method into another in c++ , java or c#.

@ShashankKadne: That is incorrect, C++ does not support `goto` jumping between methods. — Greg Hewgill, Feb 25 '12 at 07:10
@GregHewgill: I can't even label a method and then call goto to jump to that label??....i never tried it! — Shashank Kadne, Feb 25 '12 at 07:14
@ShashankKadne - no you can't. Try it. The compiler won't let you. And in the Java case, `goto` is not supported because the designers thought it was a bad language feature, not because of any real or imaginary security concerns. — Stephen C, Feb 25 '12 at 07:19
Thanks folks...that means my comment makes no sense. I should better remove it. — Shashank Kadne, Feb 25 '12 at 07:23

Not with java. goto is a reserved word (statement) but it is not useable by design.

Interesting. Had no idea about `goto` in java being just wrong syntax. – Jason Webb Feb 25 '12 at 07:46

Not in C#. It is possible to jump inside one method though.

In VB6 goto statement is used to jump some where inside the same method.
