You touch it in one place and you see other things get broken or modified in an unexpected way.

These control structures are easier to read and understand, and can help to make the code more maintainable. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the <code>goto<\/code> statement can lead to code that is difficult to debug. This is because it can be difficult to trace the flow of execution when the <code>goto<\/code> statement is used. This can lead to unexpected results and can make it difficult to identify and fix bugs. <\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, it is generally considered bad practice to use the <code>goto<\/code> statement in programming. Instead, it is better to use other control structures such as <code>if<\/code> and <code>while<\/code> statements to achieve the same result.
