GOTO algorithm step

Question

Is there any code line in any programming language that works like this algorithm:-

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Read Health
Step 3: Is Health==0
If yes, GOTO step 4
If no, GOTO step 5
Step 4: Keep playing match
Step 5: Quit match
Step 6: Stop

Code not necessary, explanation works.

Answer 1

Several programming languages support goto, including C, C++, C#, D, PHP (>=5.3), Perl.

In python you could write it similar to this:

health = int(input())
if health == 0:
continue # keep playing match
else:
break # or return

Answer 2

Using GOTO is considered bad programming. It's sort of a lazy way to "jump around". Naturally there are cases where it can be used elegantly, but try to avoid it. I've never used GOTO.

In most cases you will use BREAK or IF types of statements to control the flow.
