Re: "Goto line" function?

Hi,Fortunately the "goto" has been deprecated. It always results in spaghetti code. Check out 'case' control structure instead. You may want to think through the program flow so that you have each possibility and a default case for unanticipated situation. You will need to wrap your code inside the case structure. It's mo' better solution than coding ad hoc.i = 3case iwhen 1, 2..5print "1..5\n"when 6..10print "6..10\n"endRegards,Joe----- Original Message ----From: Paul van Delst <Paul.vanDelst@noaa.gov>To: ruby-talk ML <ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org>Sent: Friday, March 9, 2007 6:40:05 PMSubject: Re: "Goto line" function?Helgitomas Gislason wrote:> Ok, I've read through the forum but I haven't got my answer.
