You came pretty close thought, you would do it by doing this:
Label:              //Notice the colon, not simicolon
<expressions>
goto Label;

Not quite so, for some instances, like at the end of a game when you ask if
you wanna play again, you can't really use a function to go back to the
start of your program, and a while loop is very cumbersome and it doesn't
decrese the redability of the code as long as you use VERY FEW labels/gotos.
