I've been given the task of re-writing a program that uses goto statements for the sole purpose of demonstrating how frustrating they can be and I have learned that they are indeed very frustrating. After several hours of flipping through the debugger I am still running into problems, is there anyone who could pseudo code this for me that I could potentially understand it better? Apart from creating if and else statements for each goto I am lost.
namespace Assignment_03_Nasty_Code
{
class Assignment03
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Assignment 03 = " + new Assignment03().Solve());
}
public int Solve()
{
int result = 0;
int upperSearchLimit = 1_000_000;
Console.WriteLine("Building list of primes...");
ArrayList primes = Utils.BuildListOfPrimes(upperSearchLimit);
Console.WriteLine(" Done.");
// Step through the odd composite numbers
for (int i = 19; i < upperSearchLimit; i+= 2)
{
Label02:
if (primes.Contains(i))
goto Label03;
// Is the number divisible by a prime?
int j = 0;
Boolean match = false;
Label01:
int tmp;
int prime = (int)primes[j];
tmp = i - prime;
int half = tmp /= 2;
int squareRoot = (int) Math.Sqrt(half);
if (tmp != squareRoot * squareRoot)
goto Label04;
// We got one
//System.out.println(i + " is a composite that can be written as the sum of a prime and twice a square");
match = true;
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + (int)primes[j] + " + 2 * " + half );
Label04: // Second goto
j++;
if ((int)primes[j] < i)
goto Label01;
if (match == false)
{
Console.WriteLine("No match for " + i);
result = i;
break;
}
//goto Label02;
Label03: // First goto
int x;
}
return result;
}
}
}
I have replaced
goto
in your code and that's result
