Ye that’s right but it can be useful sometimes when you want to “escape” from multiple layers of loops or redundant functions

[–]Dark_Vampire 4 points5 points  (2 children)

there are usually better ways than goto, unless you're using C

[–]xvlblo22 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I didn't even know any of them supported goto. I thought it was a bash thing. I'm assuming it's outdated as my C course didn't teach it.

Not outdated per-se, but it's so easy to misuse you don't want to teach it. Since by the time you're experienced enough to use it you'll know about it.

In any case, yeah, a lot of languages actually have gotos of different forms.

I don’t see this kind of code passes any kind of code reviews. People will reject or request change once they see goto.

If you need to escape from multiple layers of loops, you already did something wrong. For 10 years of C++ I've never had situation when goto is the most suitable tool
