You should not.

Use a loop.
And use your creativity.
It's not difficult to imagine a way.

If another function has the need to return the the beginning of a program, it could return something that tells main it wants to go back to the beginning, for example.

No! Goto is the tool of the devil!
Goto is NOT the only way to loop. C has three ways.

I suggest you get a book or tutorial and learn these concepts and you should find how pretty quickly.

If you're serious, you need to get back to the books. Actually, no, you have to get back to the books even if you're joking.

Code:

...

int main(void)
{
    int continue;
    while((continue = runProgram()));
    return 0;
}

...

runProgram() would contain your program.

thanks
