end:only works if m is allocated statically or on the stack, not if allocated in the heap.
edit: the statement above is misleading. It is referring to the use of sizeof() to set up the loops, and has nothing to do with using goto to break the loop. Using goto to break the loop will work as written, regardless of how the variables are allocated.

}Whenever the code is as complicated as you need to break the outer loop, it is the correct time to add a new function.

DONE: ;In this case, m is int[][], an array of arrays, so foreach loops can be used.
foreach loops have no out-of-bounds condition; goto becomes the clearest alternative to extracting the loops into a method.

end1) First break breaks out of the inner-loop. Second break breaks out of the outer-loop.
2) Simplifying is possible. Change line 11 in if (state == "found") then break end and remove lines 1 and 7.
3) No goto-statement.

Showing an imperfect work-around with blocks. If blocks are not used, goto is available: check the plain C idiom for an example. Note it might be tempting to use exceptions instead; do not: in ObjC it is considered a bad practice

2 Solutions:
1. do it with one loop.
2. Break both loops with a flag.

matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,-5,6],[7,8,9]]
try:
print(next(i for i in chain.from_iterable(matrix) if i < 0))
except StopIteration:
passWe make a generator that will return negative values from a list (and use chain.from_iterable(matrix) to lazily extract the values) and only take one value from it with the next function. The generator will not continue until we call next again.
This will raise StopIteration if it doesn't find the value so we need to account for it.

End SelectThe Exit statement breaks the innermost block of the type specified. To avoid GoTo for dubious benefit in readability, the loops can be surrounded by a dummy block that does not affect control flow which is then exited out of when the element is found.
Select Case is used here as it cannot be confused with the loops and is relatively uncommon.
