From: Jeff Abrahamson <abrahj01@molbio.sbphrd.com> |If you've never done it, emerse yourself in a language like lisp or |scheme that has no concept of goto, not even in its socially |acceptable forms ("contine," "next," etc.). You'll discover after a |few weeks that goto is never necessary. That insight will help your |write better code. Or if you're really jonesing, write some code in assembler where the only thing you have is a goto. Might be good to get it out of your system. Plus, if you're *really* going to optimize your code, you're going to fine-tune the assembly language the compiler emits, right? ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
