GOTO

Function

GOTO branches unconditionally to a specified line number.

Syntax

GOTO line number

GOTO numeric expression

Examples

GOTO 50

causes program execution to commence immediately at line 50.

10 GOTO 100

causes program execution to skip from line 10 to line 100.

The line number may also be a variable or an expression.

GOTO A or GOTO A*100

are equally valid.

The program sequence:

20 ZB=150
30 GOTO ZB
150 PRINT "THIS IS LINE"; ZB

would give

THIS IS LINE 150

Remarks

GOTO is always used with an argument (line number). If used as an immediate command, GOTO will cause program execution to commence from the line number specified. If used as part of a program, GOTO will cause program execution to skip to the line number specified. If the line specified is not present in memory HUNTER will display:

*LNo Error in line 150*

If the GOTO line was unnumbered, the error message line number will be meaningless.
