1. Re: The fate of Euphoria (Goto statement)
Please: NO Goto. There is really no sensible need for it I can see.
A Case statement is a much cleaner option than a bunch of if-then-elsif-then-end
statments.
They are not the same thing either.
eg.
if a=b then
-- do something
elsif c=d then
-- do something else
end if
and
switch a of
case b
-- do something
break
case c
-- summat else
break
end switch
The IF statement can have differing variables to check against, whereas the CASE
checks the equality of 'a' against 'b' or 'c'.
Yes, the IF route can do exactly the same thing, but IMO is more difficult to
read in the long run.
Just my 2 pence view.
Any chance we can kill this thread soon - it's getting to be boring seeing 'The
Fate of Euphoria' as the main topic listed??
