I've finally taken the plunge into .Net and C#. However....C#.....

Goto statements inside switch statements?????

FFS!

Is it an ASSIGNED GOTO?

If not, why not.

And COMMON statements. Or EQUIVALENCE statements. It took me years to figure out why you could not EQUIVALENCE items in a COMMON statement or two different COMMON statements. I kept on trying to get the lousy variables to do it. A lousy six characters and they thought they were god almighty. I may get my FORTRAN IV book out again and see if if works now.

Why can't you EQUIVALENCE things in a COMMON statement Xogg?

Can't say I've ever tried it though, being so overwhelmed with the ASSIGNED GOTO...

[xoggoth]

I daresay you can in the 9th dimension as variables would have no difficulty occupying different memory areas while having the same address, I was really only referring to PCs in this dimension.

goto

> Goto statements inside switch statements?????

People who have problems with GOTO have no clue about code that is actually executed by the processor -- unconditional JMP is efficient instruction because it allows branch predictor to make correct guess. These days performance is about avoiding pipeline stalls (especially on P4), and GOTO is a good thing.

I rarely use it, and sometimes its the only choice if you have switch statement inside a loop and you need to get out of the actual loop, not just switch statement.
