Printing 1 to 1000 without loop or conditionals?

Question

**Task**: Print numbers from 1 to 1000 without using any loop or conditional statements. Don't just write the `printf()` or `cout` statement 1000 times. How would you do that using C or C++?

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

void printIt( int x)

{

if (x>1)

{

printIt(x-1);

}

printf("%d\n",x);

}

int main()

{

//printf("Hello World");

printIt(1000);

return 0;

}
