Is goto ok for breaking out of nested loops?

Question

JavaScript supports a goto like syntax for breaking out of nested loops. It\'s not a great idea in general, but it\'s considered acceptable practice. C# does not directly

Answer 1

It's a bit of a unacceptable practice in C#. If there's no way your design can avoid it, well, gotta use it. But do exhaust all other alternatives first. It will make for better readability and maintainability. For your example, I've crafted one such potential refactoring:

void Original()
{
    int i = 0;            
    while(i <= 10)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(i);
        i++;
        if (Process(i))
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

bool Process(int i)
{
    for(int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
        if (i > 5)
        {
            return true;
        }
    return false;
}
