I just used a GOTO


I feel dirty x(

[NMMNG]

1. Pardon my ignorance....

A GOTO??? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

2. I was going to ask the very same question, Buffy baby

:shrug:

[billyskank]

3. It's a thing that

for the last thirty years, programmers have been told not to do. :)

[SeattleGirl]

5. Um, billy darlin'

I still don't know what GOTO means.

Is it a super duper double double triple coded thingy that only programmers are allowed to know about?

[billyskank]

6. It means jump from here (wherever here is) to there

where "there" is the place specified, and completely forget about ever having been "here".

For the past few decades programmers have been told to use "structured programming," which means loops and if..then..else..endif blocks and not GOTOs!

But I just went and used one anyway. :)

[SeattleGirl]

10. Well, it's late for me, so that's probably why I still don't quite

get it (never mind the fact that I am basically a computer doofus), but nevertheless, I will bestow the SeattleGirl Blessings of the Universe upon your own self that doing a GOTO will not bring curses upon your very same own self.

:* :* :*

13. So I don't need to take a bath?

:woohoo:

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

16. No, darlin' billy

Just wash your hands. :hide:

[NMMNG]

7. Wiki to the rescue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto_(command)

It's all Greek to me. :shrug:

[Mutley]

4. I'm not sure what a GOTO is either.

But hi billy.

:hug:

I missed you guys.

[billyskank]

20. It's considered beyond the pale

I am now an apostate. :D

:hug:

[Mutley]

22. Is it all that serious?

:P

I'll forgive you even if no one else will.

[billyskank]

28. It's heinous

They will cast me out for this! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Go wash your hands

Pronto!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

19. Ha, MissHoney!!!

That's zactly what I told Billy!!! :rofl:

[billyskank]

21. First thing I did

But I still feel dirty. ;)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

23. Well, dirty isn't ALWAYS a bad thing.

:blush: :hide:

[billyskank]

25. SeattleGirl!!

:o

Behave yourself! :spank:

[SeattleGirl]

27. But, billy, if I behaved myself, no one would want to play with me!

:rofl: :evilgrin:

Forgive me, billy, for I have sinned. Or at least, tried to sin.....:hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Isn't that like

a really, really old DOS command?

[billyskank]

11. Yes

Almost every language has a GOTO. It's like a dirty little secret.

Goes all they way back to the days of FORTRAN. :D

[SeattleGirl]

12. OMG. Not FORTRAN!

:scared: :scared: :scared:

Hold me please. I'm a-skeered!

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I haven't done that since that Commodore 64 we were talking about...

For shame, billy... :rofl: :hi:

[billyskank]

15. I know. Please don't tell

I'm worried they'll throw me out the union! :rofl:

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. You are safe with me.
