Goto statements are not bad.

C has loops and functions. Bro do you even K&R?

I didn't say it did. But any large enough C project will obviously use them.

>Goto statements are not bad.

Do you know what quotation marks are?

It does not have exceptions. Which is what all the goto uses in question are being used for.
