Hello all,
I REALLY need to use a goto statement in the NQC programming project I'm
doing for the RCX. Dows anybody know if such a statement extsts, and if
so, what the syntax is? I know gotos are bad programming practice, but its
really hard to make a workaround here. All ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
-Vadim

| (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
