    I wonder why C++ was equiped with a goto statement anyway,
    I mean it's totally wothless, it's bad code.

    Ya know... I never thought I'd need a goto statement either, but I actually used one the other day. It's not in a loop or anything... I just jump past some code with it. I didn't feel like using a giant if statement.

    Why is it bad code? I mean if you think about it, the most contrived language out there, Ada, has goto. If it were really that bad then why do all these languages have it? If goto is the most natural solution then that's what you should use, I don't see what all the fuss is about. :-)

    C++ retains the goto for backward compatibility. I don't know what ADA's excuse is. ADA is a mess isn't it.

    What a rare sight indeed! I've only ever seen them in captivity... these wild ones look quite a bit more fierce.



    Hmm...
    Has anyone ever seen the commercial with the miniture house hippos in it? If only one were made about goto...
