lookup for the keyword goto

But using goto for looping is very very bad practice. For looping you can use the for, while, do-while keywords. It is much easier to understand and easier to maintain than goto.

Why couldn't you split your code into seperate methods and execute a certain method when you need it? As Wolf said, goto is bad practice and I consider it old school :cheesy:
