OK, first of all, I am not a programmer. (yes, I heard the "thank god") Perhaps I could make the top example simpler.
But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.
In high school, we only did Python. I really wanted to do goto in Python as well, but all I found was this April fools' goto module.
Now in college we're starting with C, and I am starting with Bad Habits^TM^.
Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.
I think they're relative line numbers (a setting in vim). So they count down to where the cursor is currently at. (and would count upward form there)
Yep.
Nice, what do you need them for though? Relative movements?
I haven't yet mastered Vim, but say I want to delete a block of text, then I immediately see the relative line number up to which I want to delete lines + 1 (because current line is basically zero).
Say I have:
And I want do delete d,e and f, I do
3dd. With more lines, I don't have to count.
