What is Spaghetti Code?

As Yan mentioned, an old friend once said, "Spaghetti is best served on your plate, not in your code."

Take a look at this program:

' Shows you how Goto statements can create spaghetti code

Goto Line4

Line1:

    TextWindow.Write("spaghetti ")

    Goto Line6

Line2:

    TextWindow.Write("an ")

    Goto Line5

Line3:

    TextWindow.Write("of ")

    Goto Line1

Line4:

    TextWindow.Write("This is ")

    Goto Line2

Line5:

    TextWindow.Write("example ")

    Goto Line3

Line6:

    TextWindow.WriteLine("code.")

 

Output:

This is an example of spaghetti code.

 

As you can see, it’s hard to track the flow of this program. Like spaghetti, this program’s a tangled mess! Try to trace through the program to see how it works!
