In which scenarios could the use of goto be considered acceptable or even advisable?
- To enhance the readability of deeply nested loops.
- To replace exception handling mechanisms.
- For breaking out of multiple nested loops.
- To implement recursive functions.
While the use of "goto" is generally discouraged in modern programming due to making code harder to read and maintain, there are rare cases, like breaking out of multiple nested loops or complex error handling before exceptions were widely adopted, where its use might be considered.
