Abstract
Labels and goto statements are available in Algol 68, though the flexibility of the language and the range of choice and loop clauses make it even less likely than in PL/I that anyone familiar with the language would feel disposed to use them much. The presence of labels does, however, affect the discussion of serial clauses, so it is necessary for this reason, as well as for comparison with the other languages, to include some explanation of the facilities.
