GOTO's and LABELS?!?!
Yeah, what about them? People easily balk at seeing a goto,
but not all goto's are evil. There are two famous papers on the
subject, Go To considered harmful, by E. Dijkstra (although
it was C. Hoare that give the paper a title), but that paper doesn't
say one should never use a goto - it warns for improper
use. And then there's of course Structured Programming with Goto.
By D. E. Knuth - perhaps the best Computer Scientist that ever lived.
Besides, aren't we all fond of next, last
and redo? They are nothing but gloried gotos.
