Several programming languages support goto, including C, C++, C#, D, PHP (>=5.3), Perl. In python you could write it similar to this: health = int(input()) if health == 0: continue # keep playing match else: break # or return

Using GOTO is considered bad programming. It's sort of a lazy way to "jump around". Naturally there are cases where it can be used elegantly, but try to avoid it. I've never used GOTO. In most cases you will use BREAK or IF types of statements to control the flow.
