GOTO statements create chaotic code, making logic unclear & debugging harder. Replace with structured programming to improve readability & maintainability. Simplify control flow & avoid unnecessary jumps.
GOTO Chaos: Spaghetti Code This article is dedicated to the late Thomas E. Kurtz, one of BASIC's creators, as it was the first programming language I learned. TL;DR: GOTO statements create confusing and unmaintainable code Problems Logic becomes unclear Debugging gets harder Flow jumps erratically Code lacks structure Maintenance becomes difficult Solutions Use structured programming Replace with loops Simplify control flow Avoid unnecessary jumps Context Spaghetti describes code that is poorly structured and difficult to understand. It often involves deeply ne...
