> `goto` should be used judiciously. It's easy to fall into the trap of "spaghetti logic" where `goto` is relied on so much that it becomes too difficult to follow how the flow of code execution will proceed. Normally, you'll want to use a construct like `while()` or `for()` loops, and `break` and `continue` statements. `goto` is for more complex situations that aren't readily handled by any of these.
