In computer programming, a branch table (sometimes known as a jump table) is a term used to describe an efficient method of transferring program control (branching) to another part of a program (or a different program that may have been dynamically loaded) using a table of branch instructions. The branch table construction is commonly used when programming in assembly language but may also be generated by a compiler.
