Yes, but be aware that the use of goto is viewed very
unfavorably among experienced programmers for reasons
explained in a famous paper "Go To Statement Considered
Harmful", by Edsger Dijkstra. See
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/362929.362947
A search for "goto considered harmful" will turn up
other references.
