OK, first of all, I am not a programmer. (yes, I heard the "thank god") Perhaps I could make the top example simpler.

But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.

In high school, we only did Python. I really wanted to do goto in Python as well, but all I found was this April fools' goto module.

Now in college we're starting with C, and I am starting with Bad Habits^TM^.

Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.

That is until you're doing something more complex, then goto becomes no-go.
