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.

I love the BASIC style labels on each line!
