Re: a goto command???

....Post any bit of code with a goto in it and somebody here will be
able to show you the same functionality written without it...

Ok, I would like that! I am implementing the Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz
algorithm in Matlab and in the original article the pseudo-code
roughly looks like this:

***
compute gram-schmidt constants for a given basis b;
k = 2;

(1) do a subroutine;

if(condition) goto (2);

do a subroutine;

if(k=n) terminate;
k = k+1;
goto (1)

(2) do some calculations
k = k-1;
goto (1)
***

So, how should I work around the goto's here?
