A 'goto' may be used but it isn't strictly *necessary*. What *is*
necessary, though, that is an 'if' (some conditional branch), and
either 'goto' or recursive functions. 

 
Conditional branches, including 'if', '?:', etc., are not strictly
necessary either. 

 
No? - Can you give an example of your statement? 

 
Look at example that I posted (apparently neither you nor Tim
looked at my posts where I explained in detail how to translate
goto program (with conditional jumps) into program that contains
no goto and no conditional jumps).

Considering that Janis replied to your post I find a possibility that
he did not look at it unlikely. Although not completely impossible.

 
Or try to figure out how to do this knowing that C has function
pointers.
