That code was written simply to make a point, it's not "real" code, so it doesn't qualify as a Coding Horror.

A reason ? Maybe no, but you could need one if you use a switch.
switch(iData) { case 0: case 1: // do stuff for 0 and 1 break; case 2: // do stuff for 2 goto 3; case 3: // do stuff for 2 and 3 break; }Learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself.
Yeah, the poor mans drop through.

o really ?? i think it can be used like this : switch(iData) { case 0: case 1: // do stuff for 0 and 1 break; case 2: // do stuff for 2 case 3: // do stuff for 2 and 3 break; } if the break statement is missing, it go through next case ..

Fine: It is allowed.

That's not allowed in

My 5, that code is pure Horror. Anyway (I made a test) the

[My articles]That's a worse offense than a goto IMHO - exceptions should be reserved for exceptional conditions (the clues in the name) not used as an alternative control flow mechanism.

Except that a break doesn't break out of two for loops, just the inner one - necessitating a flag to detect whether the outer loop should be exited too. In C# this seems a legitimate usage to me. I just wish C# had JavaScript's labelled loops/breaks, yielding the following code style:
outer_loop:
while (true) {
// .. do something
inner_loop:
while (true) {
// ...
if (condition1)
break inner_loop;if (condition2) break outer\_loop; } }Given that and fall-through in switch..case I see no need for goto.

That's exactly what they are (IMHO). :-D

A 'labelled break' is a 'goto' alias. :)

What I mean is: a 'break' would be enough to execute the 'beep bop a loola' :-D ... By the way: I'd consider a 'flag' much better than a 'goto'... Regards Thomas

I know. But in the pseudocode above it will definitely execute the 'beep bop a loola'... :-D Regards Thomas

Add
&& !footo the for loop conditions and/or use while instead. -

I take exception to that remark! *Bypasses his finally block due to a goto statement*
