Uploaded by

SAN JUAN BAUTISTA

The document discusses Edgar Dijkstra's 1968 paper "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" published in Communications of the ACM. In the paper, Dijkstra argues that the use of the "go to" statement in programming languages should be avoided due to its potential to introduce unstructured control flow and make programs harder to understand and modify. He advocated for the use of structured programming techniques instead.
