purifier 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Is it possible to print a number or a character a specified number of times without using any loops... or any conditional statements...? I tried my hand at it using recursion but even that requires a condition... tried using goto but that would be a loop and also requires a condition... I thought of a solution but it is a dumb one... don't take it too seriously... Use printf("CHARACTER"); 'n' times... Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
