At the time, many programs were still written in assembly code, or in languages like BASIC and FORTRAN that had an unrestricted GOTO statement but lacked facilities like user defined functions or procedures for adding structure. Using jmp or GOTO was often the only practical way to control the flow ofDon McCaugheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673164543469346037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317681194976291894.post-42101853940176179512009-12-04T06:29:33.168-08:002009-12-04T06:29:33.168-08:00Goto Considered Harmful<a href="http://www.u.arizona.edu/~rubinson/copyright_violations/Go_To_Considered_Harmful.html" rel="nofollow">Goto Considered Harmful</a>Evan Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515721416940209858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317681194976291894.post-64964371971350414732009-12-02T09:21:11.383-08:002009-12-02T09:21:11.383-08:00@Patrick goto is part of the language, for good or...@Patrick goto is part of the language, for good or bad. Sooner or later every Objective-C programmer is going to run across some code that uses it. I think it's important for novice programmers to understand how goto works and where it might be used.<br /><br />@joel I've never used a goto statement in 20+ years of programming in C/C++/Objective-C (and never been attacked by dinosaurs :Don McCaugheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673164543469346037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317681194976291894.post-16673174974030428772009-12-02T05:31:42.442-08:002009-12-02T05:31:42.442-08:00Why?
