I once had a programming student do this sort of thing:
done = False step = 1 while not done: if step == 1: # ... do something ... step = 2 elif step == 2: # ... do something else ... step = 3 # ... and so on ...Effectively he'd reinvented state machines!
Sounds like that student just didn't know how to do it properly yet, but this was done by someone with several years of experience. What he did all those years, however, is a mystery to me.
