CGOTO

Calculate the number of the line to which the program execution must pass. Allows you to jump to a variable program line number, determined by the result of a calculation. CGOTO is a command that replaces long jump tables behind the BASIC command ON.

Instead of specifying the jump targets as with ON and then calling them by specifying the location number of the desired target, the desired target line can be targeted immediately by calculation after CGOTO without much typing.

The use of CGOTO requires that the lines are arranged in such a way when programming that these lines remain accessible for the algorithm expression behind CGOTO.

Join BASIC 10Liner Contest with ugBASIC!

An interesting competition is held at the beginning of each year: the BASIC 10Liner Contest. It is possible to use ugBASIC to participate in the next "BASIC10Liner" competition, in the following categories:

  • PUR-120 - A game in 10 lines of max 120 characters (w/abbrev.)
  • EXTREME-256 - A game in 10 lines of max 256 characters (w/abbrev.)
  • SCHAU - Any program in 10 lines of max 256 characters (w/abbrev.)
In order to reduce space you can use this abbreviation for this instruction: 

CGOTO ↔ Cg
