GOTO Python 2.7.13

Question

How do I use/make a goto statement in python 2.7.13. Specifically, what I am trying to do is ask the user to put in an input of a yes or no statement.

If they type in Yes they will continue to there next line but if they answer No I want the user to return to a previous line.

A GOTO statement is a symptom of bad code design. Python is a structured language and lacks this statement, see this post if you want to implement a pseudo GOTO statement.

A better solution is to use better code design with loops or functions:

Loop

while True:
    answer = input("Do you want to continue?")
    if answer == "yes":
        break
print("We are done here!")

Function

def ask_question():
    answer = input("Do you want to continue?")
    if answer == "no":
        ask_question()

ask_question()
print("We are done here!")

This is a if statement not goto. There are times when goto are the only option – Dec 02 '17 at 08:44
