In Pascal I can't change the 'a' and 'b' values t
C does have goto.

The problem of GOTO is that C doesn't have one. If C had one, and
Pascal didn't have a GOTO, they would blame Pascal for not having it.
In assembler GOTOs make a lot of sense (i.e. JMP and Jxx), and it's
weird C doesn't have one, after all C tries to be the lowest level of
the highest level languag
I think "exit" and "goto" have their uses. Here is an example:
for a := 0 to x do
for b := 0 to y do
for c := 0 to z do
if (...) then
begin
// Do something and then exit all loops
exit; // Or maybe: goto OutSideOfLoops;
end;

When you use it at the begining it may be arguably ok. But when it is used
in the
middle of procedure code it may be hard to notice.

Using "Exit" is not of a bad programming practice. Suppose one has to
write a big procedure, say 150 lines of code. Suppose now that, instead
of writing

at the beginning of the procedure, one writes
if X <> 0 then
