OK, first of all, I am not a programmer. (yes, I heard the "thank god") Perhaps I could make the top example simpler.
But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.
In high school, we only did Python. I really wanted to do goto in Python as well, but all I found was this April fools' goto module.
Now in college we're starting with C, and I am starting with Bad Habits^TM^.
Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.
Except for error handling, perhaps
Not even that. Switching code flows means potential void of state integrity. Error handling should either terminate discarded states or not interfere at all.
By the way, imagine smart pointers with goto jumps.
That reminds me of this video
This video is so fucking funny lol. I can't tell whether it's ironic or not
Aww hell no, still getting nightmares on classic asp error handling.
