 | | The ON <b>GOTOb> statement in BASIC supports the first kind of computed <b>GOTOb> and is useful for case-by-case branching, as in C's switch statement. | | | <b>GOTOb> is a command found in many programming languages which instructs the computer to jump to another point in the computer program, specified by a label or line number. | | | However <b>GOTOb> is not available in all high-level programming languages. |

| | Since a <b>GOTOb> is effectively an {assignment} to the {program counter}, it is tempting to make the generalisation "assignment considered harmful" and indeed, this is the basis of {functional programming}. | | | Use of the <b>GOTOb> instruction in {high level language} programming fell into disrepute with the development and general acceptance of {structured programming}, and especially following the famous article "<b>GOTOb> statement {considered harmful}". | | | Nearly(?) all {machine language} {instruction sets} include a <b>GOTOb> instruction, though in this context it is usually called branch or jump or some {mnemonic} based on these. |

| | Spaghetti code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Spaghetti code is a pejorative term for source code which has a complex and tangled control structure, especially one using many GOTOs, exceptions, threads, or other "unstructured" branching constructs. | | | This is because using for loops and functions are standard ways of providing flow control where the <b>gotob> statement encourages arbitrary flow control. | | | Notice that indentation is not needed and that the program's <b>gotob> statements create a reliance on line numbers. |

| | Why Tcl has no <b>GOTOb> command |

| | It is possible to do structured programming in almost any procedural programming language, but since about 1970 when structured programming began to gain popularity as a technique, most new procedural programming languages have included features to encourage structured programming, (and sometimes have left out features that would make unstructured programming easy). | | | Structured programming can be seen as a subset or subdiscipline of procedural programming, one of the major programming paradigms. | | | Structured programming is often (but not always) associated with a "top-down" approach to design. |

| | Programming language constructs such as the "<b>gotob>" statement only increase essential complexity when they are actually used to implement poorly structured logic, not just because they could be used that way. | | | Structured programming [DAHL] avoids unmaintainable "spaghetti code" by restricting the usage of control structures to those that are easily analyzed and decomposed. | | | It is important to note that the structured programming primitives used in the calculation of essential complexity are based on the control flow graph rather than the source code text. |

| | In a sense, semaphores are something like the <b>gotob> statement in early programming languages; they can be used to solve a variety of problems, but they impose little structure on the solution and the results can be hard to understand without the aid of numerous comments. | | | A simple or binary semaphore is a semaphore which has only two values, zero and one; when used to solve the mutual exclusion problem, the value zero indicates that some process has exclusive use of the associated resource and the value one indicates that the resource is free. | | | Semaphores can be used to solve the mutual exclusion problem at the user level; for example, consider the code fragments shown in Figure 17.1. |
