As far as i can remember use of goto is considered to be a bad practise, because it can lead to "spaghetti" code.



One useful way to use it is to get out of nested loops.



Also it's naming convention is Ex: skip_loop_block. ? ( with _? ? ?after_each_word )





I'm not sure if that is correct, i never had a need to use it or learn how to use it so...

Code:

new sometext[ 10 ][ 20 ][ 128 ];

// ...

public OnGameModeInit( playerid )

{

// ...



? ? format( sometext[ 1 ][ 2 ], 63, "Print this one" );

? ? format( sometext[ 2 ][ 4 ], 63, "Print this one too." );

? ? format( sometext[ 3 ][ 8 ], 63, "Print, print, print!" );

? ? format( sometext[ 4 ][ 16 ], 63, "End nested loop NOW!" );

? ? format( sometext[ 5 ][ 19 ], 63, "This one will not be printed!" );



for( new i; i < 10; i )

{

for( new j; j < 20; j )

{

? ? if( !isnull( sometext[ i ][ j ] ) )

? ? {

? ? if( strcmp( "End nested loop NOW!", sometext[ i ][ j ], false ) == 0 )

? ? {

? ? goto skip_loop_block; // we don't have to break; 2 loops now!

? ? }

? ? else printf( "%s", sometext[ i ][ j ] );

? ? }

}

}



printf( "This one will not be printed if we use goto!" );



skip_loop_block:



print( "Done" );



return 1;

}
