I hope none of you are cargo-cultist goto haters
goto creates spaghetti code
go code assembly if you like to use goto

>go code assembly
If you program in anything besides assembly you are a faggot
>>54543133
>muh cargo cult
Bad programmers use goto to create spaghetti code
Java removes goto because Java is designed for Pajeets
Same reason Java has checked exceptions
Problem is, this hasn't prevented Pajeets from creating bad code anyway

why do you post rms?
rms is a functional faggot

That's why I posted him

I want to melt that Crystal maiden
My professor taught me to not use goto, break and global variables so I don't use them.

break/continue are fantastic though

Those that teach such things never give any good examples and explanations. They heard/read somewhere that it's "bad" before so they start parroting to their students the rest of their lives

I would say go is something to avoid, but sometimes it's worth using.
goto's are okay depending on from where they're placed.
However in most cases your logic is probably poorly implemented to not allow unwinding cleanly.

Your professor's a retard

Not him, but I actually had two teachers. One of them telling me to not use those, and another one telling me it was fine.
There's pros and cons, and once you have some skills, you can start to wonder whether it's good or not to use them.
The fact is that I went on a school to help some students on their projects. Few of them actually used break and continue statements.
Guess what ? Their code was a mess, overcomplicated, and created bugs everywhere. Some things that could be done with a while loop in 5 lines took them various for with break statements ending on a 100 lines of code.
So there's some legit concern on telling a student that goto, break, continue and global variables aren't a good thing.

I think that's mostly an issue with how good a coder a person is than break's fault. Maybe they only managed to complete their code with break statements and didn't know how to replace all of that with while loops.
