(...) Well, you'll hear people telling you: 1) Use the GOTO - it's fine. 2) Use it sparingly - it's dubious. 3) Use it only if you are totally stuck. 4) Never, ever use it - it is the work of Satan. I fall into group (4). I've been working as a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You should uninstall cygwin and delete its directory tree if it is left behind. Then run both installers (the brickoslejos installer second) and you should be ready to go. You don't need to do a configure or make of brickOS if you use these (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) In NQC, it is necessary to be especially careful about the use of goto as Dave writes in the NQC Guide: The goto statement should be used sparingly and cautiously. In almost every case, control structures such as if, while, and switch make a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) <snipped rant> (...) And as a longtime embedded guy myself, I agree with Mark. It's the old sharp tools and dull craftsman thing. In the hands of a practiced expert, the goto can be a thing of beauty and can make the code more readable, which (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) As a general rule I do not use goto's because I don't have a need for them. I've coded so many LOC in my life that the "if then else" structure of modern language was a step up from where I started. :^) The original BASIC and FORTAN had gotos (...)

(...) Y'know, I really ought to check the latest version before saying these sorts of things. It appears that goto has actually been implemented since the last time I fiddled with NQC. Sorry for the misinformation. - Alex (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
