Apparently you're a supporter of "spaghetti programming"..... :-)
 
Yes, C has goto, and there are valid uses for goto in C, however
replacing a while or for loop is not one of them.  True, C doesn't
prevent you to do it, because it uses the philosophy "Trust the
programmer" -- and untrustworthy programmers can do a lot of horrible
things in C.  Such programmers should stick to e.g. Java instead.....
