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 HabitsTM.
Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.


You should try assembly. Pure goto hell
It’s always fun to get your offset slightly wrong, and jump into the middle of an instruction.
