Is "case:" works like instruction "goto:" ( label) in i.e. Pascal? It allows to omit some part of code.

I didnt finish C++ course but I would like to know have I good intuition. I realized that case works only with "switch". Lack of "break" gives me that remark.

Nope, case is not an analog of goto. Just forget about goto, consider it was a bad dream))) Generally, switch-case (and yes, case statement is used only inside switch statement) is a more convenient way to handle multiple if-elseif-...-else statements, but just for 1 integer variable (for c++, in js you can pass strings, floats or whatever). Also, it could be used for some custom behavior, but this comes with experience.

Thank you. "Goto" was usefull in Assembler where lines had numbers (10, 20, 30 and so on). My old habit...
