Hi,
I have used goto instruction a lot when I started to program in Basic ( an Amstrad CPC 🥹). In this context goto had logic. But in modern languages like python I think it is a very bad idea:
- Understand the logic is more complex
- Functions and methods are a better and more powerfull alternative
- It is dangerous: add or remove a new line of code could have bad consequences
Regards
i’ve found a good alternative is returning functions
eg. you have a function like this:
def cycle(func): while True: func=func()
then you start with cycle(main)
def main(): return intro
if __name__ == '__main__: cycle(main)
and then main returns the next function, and following functions return functions…
def intro(): if thisthing: return thisfunc if thatthing: return thatfunc
return is being used like goto
@stOneskull @xurxia man it’s really cool
you can see how i use it here: godschat
read from the bottom up
Making proper use of objects and loops would eliminate any need for goto in python.
