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.

    the last value will be the return

    This is the one thing that I really dislike about Rust. All this talk about safety and the return value/expression reads like a typeo w/o a semicolon. It even has return anyway since there are lots of scenarios that’s needed for an optimal path.
