Solve Nested Loop Complexity with Goto

Introduction

In this challenge, you are tasked with refactoring a legacy code segment that uses complex nested loops in financial data processing. The goal is to simplify the loop control flow by utilizing the goto statement, making the code more readable and maintainable. The challenge requires you to ensure the program prints the data elements before exiting when the value 5 is encountered.

Solve Nested Loop Complexity with Goto

In financial data processing, complex nested loops can make code hard to read and maintain. Your task is to refactor a legacy code segment using the goto statement to simplify loop control flow.

Tasks

• Refactor the nested loops in data_processor.go using the goto statement
• Simplify the loop exit logic when the value 5 is encountered
• Ensure the program prints the data elements before exiting

Requirements

• Use the goto statement to replace complex nested loop exit conditions
• Create the solution in the file ~/project/data_processor.go
• Ensure the program prints elements before exiting when 5 is found
• Use only one goto label for exiting the nested loops
• Maintain the original data printing logic
• LOOP EXITED must be printed after the loop exits

Examples

Example output when 5 is encountered:

$ go run data_processor.go

1
2
3
4
5
LOOP EXITED

Hints

• Remember that goto can help simplify nested loop exit conditions
• Place the goto label outside the nested loops
• Use a single label to exit both inner and outer loops efficiently

Summary

In summary, this challenge requires you to refactor a legacy code segment that uses complex nested loops in financial data processing. The goal is to simplify the loop control flow by utilizing the goto statement, making the code more readable and maintainable. You must ensure the program prints the data elements before exiting when the value 5 is encountered.
