That depends on what you think IF-ELE should do. Personally, I think it
should subtract the value of ELE from the value of IF, yielding the
difference between the two. The workaround would be as follows:
diff = IF;
diff -= ELE;
TWISTER 2.2
¿? You have to use loops and print 1 to 100 without using any kind of

I don't think he can. I don't think anyone else can either, since using
loops without using any kind of looping is likely to challenge the
ingenuity of even the most perspicacious programmer. Nevertheless, printing
1 to 100 without using any kind of looping is trivial:
puts("1 to 100");
SMALLEST CODE WILL BE APPRECIATED
No problem. Here ya go:
main(){}

You forgot about recursion:
#include <stdio.h>
void putn(int n) {
if (n - 1) putn(n - 1);
printf("%d\n", n);
}
int main(void) {putn(100); return 0;}
which even the all seeing u can use. Why do people give their
children one character names?

You may take a peek at local newspapaers, probably ther is some work
around, where you are not asked to make decisions. Street sweeping?
Maybe

Ah! that was VHDL, not C! Off Topic here.
library loops;
use loops.all;
print:std_logic_vector(1 to 100)=(others=>'U');
As you can see, not only U, but also OTHERS can do it!

Well, I kept the example subtly obtuse (the output order and end
points) to give him something to think about. However I think
"challenge the ingenuity of the most perspicacious" implies
impossibility or the need for non-standard code.

Yes, I implied impossibility, and I stand by that. You can't use loops
without using loops, which is what he asked. A recursive call is not a loop
per se. Nevertheless, I agree that it is probably what his tutor had in
mind.

The original problem statement, in full, was
¿? You have to use loops and print 1 to 100 without using any kind of
looping not even GOTO statement? Can u do it?
.... and neither CBF's nor RH's code meets the requirement to
"use loops." I offer the following as a possible solution:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char buff[293], *p = buff;
int n;
for (n = 1; n <= 100; ++n) {
sprintf(p, "%d\n", n);
while (*p)
++p;
}
fputs (buff, stdout);
return 0;
}
This program
- Uses loops (two of them; it could have been simpler were
"loops" not in the plural)
- "and"
- Prints 1 to 100 without using any kind of looping (the
output is generated by one execution of an fputs() call).
However, even this doesn't answer the question. It doesn't matter
if I or CBF or RH can produce a solution; the question asks whether
the former Secretary General can do it. Anybody know how to get
in touch with him?

There is no such requirement. There is a requirement to print 1 to 100
without using any kind of looping. Eric Sosman's code uses a loop, but
not for the actual printing.

It "print[s] 1 to 100 without using any kind of looping."
All the loops are over and done with before the printing starts,
and the printing uses no loops. To look at it another way, I'm
choosing to parse the problem statement with a low precedence
assigned to "and."

Those 0s in "100" look suspiciously like loops to me! :-)

Sure I can. Can't you? What do you think the trinary operator is used
for if not evaluating conditions? And that's just the most esoteric
one; there are also for(), while() and do() operations that could also
substitute for an if-else construct with some work.
OTOH, I'd fire any language developer who neglected to include if/else
in his C compiler, wouldn't you?

¿? You have to use loops and print 1 to 100 without using any kind of

Of course I can.
The simplest way is to just
puts("1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10");...
until you print all 99 of your numbers.
There are other, fancier ways, of course.
Consider this code and give ur Opinion
Code written in Turbo C
------------------------------------------------

printf("%d ",i);
foo();

Well, C, pretty much, if you just lose the conio.h header, which is
non-standard and which you don't need.
------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
static int i = 1;
void foo() {

foo();
}

Failure to return a value. At least you defined main correctly.
With the corrections indicated the program will probably print "1"
some number of times and then crash. Or it might assassinate all
males over 15. Neither of these is especially desirable.
