[java] How to use goto statement correctly

There is not 'goto' in the Java world. The main reason was developers realized that complex codes which had goto would lead to making the code really pathetic and it would be almost impossible to enhance or maintain the code.

However this code could be modified a little and using the concept of continue and break we could make the code work.

    import java.util.*;

public class Factorial 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        int x = 1;
        int factValue = 1;
        Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
        restart: while(true){
        System.out.println("Please enter a nonzero, nonnegative value to be factorialized.");
        int factInput = userInput.nextInt();

        while(factInput<=0)
        {
            System.out.println("Enter a nonzero, nonnegative value to be factorialized.");
            factInput = userInput.nextInt();
        }

        if(x<1)//This is another way of doing what the above while loop does, I just wanted to have some fun.
        {
            System.out.println("The number you entered is not valid. Please try again.");
            continue restart;
        }
        while(x<=factInput)
        {
            factValue*=x;
            x++;
        }
        System.out.println(factInput+"! = "+factValue);
        userInput.close();
        break restart;
}
    }
}
