what is equal function ''goto'' in matlab?

[m-tlb]

Hi friends

I write a program with many lines,now i need my program to jump from line 100 to line 150 .so I require "goto" ,but in matlab there isn't this function.my program is too long and so should use minimum numbers of function such as (for ,if, while,...).
may you help me?


thanks so much

Can you post or upload your code, so that we can examine it and advise you?

You may possibly benefit from breaking your code down into smaller routines.

Hi m-tlb,

Really you don't need to use 'goto'. A structured program don't use it. You may write anything in matlab with the other constructions.
Even when the language support goto (like C), it is a good practice to avoid it because breaks the stucture of the program and makes it obscure, hard to understand and debug.
As Dijkstra said: GoTo Statement Considered Harmful.

Sounds like you have it, but "switch-case" statements are ways to do structured "goto" in matlab.

I would have to add, I agree with Zorro's comment.

The use of GOTOs is often an indication of questionable code design.

Even if the GOTO statement exists in a particular programming language, its existence does not advocate its use.
