== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
``++GoTo++`` is an unstructured control flow statement. It makes code less readable and maintainable. Structured control flow statements such as ``++If++``, ``++For++``, ``++While++``, or ``++Exit++`` should be used instead.

Sub gotoStatementDemo()

Dim number As Integer = 1

' The following statement never gets executed because number = 1.

sampleString = "Number equals 2"

' Write "Number equals 1" in the Debug window.
