C: Looping without using looping statements or recursion

Question

I want to write a C function that will print 1 to N one per each line on the stdout where N is a int parameter to the function. The function should not use while, for, do-while

Answer 1

If you know the upper limit of N you can try something like this ;)

void func(int N)
{
    char *data = " 1\n 2\n 3\n 4\n 5\n 6\n 7\n 8\n 9\n10\n11\n12\n";
    if (N > 0 && N < 12)
        printf("%.*s", N*3, data);
    else
        printf("Not enough data. Need to reticulate some more splines\n");
}

Joke aside, I don't really see how you can do it without recursion or all the instructions you mentioned there. Which makes me more curious about the solution.

Edit: Just noticed I proposed the same solution as grombeestje :)
