I'm looking for GO GO Guru
In pbp, what are the tradeoffs between using GOTO or GOSUB to branch to different areas of code ? Does one use more memory than the other ? Is there a limit to how many GOSUBs that can be nested ?
I have some distant memory that you should only use GOTO within a specific (sub)routine and it is better to use GOSUB rather than GOTO to jump to / use a specific code segment. Obviously as well GOSUB will return you to where you started whereas with GOTO you can jump A>B>C>A.
Also, I often use a WHILE - WEND loop for 3 button menu control, is it better to use GOTO or GOSUB here:
WHILE Switch_1 = 1
IF Switch_2 = 0 then GOSUB Label X
IF Switch_3 = 0 then GOSUB Label Y
WEND
Thanks, Andrew
