For my code, I use If ((s.3==0) && (s.2==1)) then
goto L3

Is it better to place L3 before the if statement or after it?
Is it a good idea to do If ((s.3==0) && (s.2==1)) or should I separate the if statement?

If ( s.3 = 0 ) and ( s.2 = 1 ) is fine. (In practice I don't use ==, I always use =, same thing for the &&, I always use 'AND', easier to read)

If you think the L3 before the if will work better, then try it.
