		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot;A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;label&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in a &lt;a href=&quot;/index.php/Programming_language&quot; title=&quot;Programming language&quot;&gt;programming language&lt;/a&gt; is a sequence of &lt;a href=&quot;/index.php?title=Character&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; class=&quot;new&quot; title=&quot;Character (page does not exist)&quot;&gt;characters&lt;/a&gt; that identifies a location within &lt;a href=&quot;/index.php/Source_code&quot; title=&quot;Source code&quot;&gt;source code&lt;/a&gt;.  == Description ==  In most languages...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;A '''label''' in a [[programming language]] is a sequence of [[Character|characters]] that identifies a location within [[source code]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In most languages labels take the form of an [[identifier]], often followed by a [[punctuation character]] (e.g., a [[colon]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In many [[High level programming language|high level programming languages]] the purpose of a label is to act as the destination of a [[GOTO]] statement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[assembly language]], labels can be used anywhere an address can (for example, as the operand of a JMP or MOV instruction).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]] and its derived variations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some languages, such as [[Fortran (programming language)|Fortran]] and [[BASIC (programming language)|BASIC]], support numeric labels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Labels are also used to identify an entry point into a compiled sequence of statements (e.g., during debugging).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Switch statement]]&lt;br /&gt;
