Your non-solution has more.  If you fix the bug so it can change
existing entries, your code will have at yet more paths.  In my code the
conditions that apply to all the paths are explicit.  In yours they are
the result unstructured jumps.

I suspect more than ever that you are just trolling.  I don't think you
really believe your posted code is any good -- you are just throwing it
out there to provoke replies.  For one thing, even after a revision it
still has a syntax error.
