From my Intro to C programming class (which is funny in general, imagine a lecture hall full of 150 people, 100 of whom are already competent C programmers who are stuck there because it is unavoidable...)
The teacher put the course notes on her website, and included in the style guide is this little gem...
Not just bad, but evil... Not just penalized, but punished...11.
Do not use the goto statement.
The goto statement is evil! If you need to use it, it is a definite sign of bad code. Those who use the goto statement will be punished.
Not that I disagree with the statement, but I found the wording interesting.
Of course its about as funny as the third slide of the powerpoint presentation she gave the class, which was a picture of a computer with lines pointing to the monitor, keyboard, joystick, speakers, and so on.
