/prog/ Challenge 9001

The correct title of this article is /prog/ Challenge 9001. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.

The 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.

It uses compile-time recursion. Recursion is allowed according to the OP's rules, though.

It works by unwinding the code into this:


print_1();
print_2();
print_3();
...
print_999();
print_1000();


And the compiler likely inlines those functions so in reality it would just be unwound into this:


std::cout << 1 << std::endl;
std::cout << 2 << std::endl;
std::cout << 3 << std::endl;
...
std::cout << 999 << std::endl;
std::cout << 1000 << std::endl;
