How to print an array by its pointer ?

@Ali Here you go. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but it's done without using a "loop." I mean technically it's a loop by concept, but it's not a loop in terms of the official programming functions. Let me know if you were looking for something diff and I'll help out if I can. https://code.sololearn.com/cdlHVezPeCON/#cpp int main() { int arr[5] = {1,2,3,4,5}; int i = 0; printArr: printf("Index (%d) is %d \n", i, arr[i]); i++; if(i < 5){ goto printArr; } return 0; }

can also do it recursively instead of loops 😬

Generally, you never want to use 'goto' in C++. You must use loops to iterate over an array otherwise. Learning to code with goto will NOT teach you how to think about C++ code structure in the right way.

Well if you don't wanna loops you might do it like: Put the last index in "last" place. std::ostream_iterator<int> out_it (std::cout,", "); std::copy ( arr, &arr[last], out_it ); You create ostream_iterator object (first argument: stream that we will throw output to. Second argument: separator between elements.), then you use copy function to copy all elements from array to our ostream iterator.

You could modify the memory of the output buffer directly, but a loop will be used implicitly to flush it. Unless you want to print a giga byte of text to the console, I wouldn't recommend you to do so. And a console isn't well suited to view a giga byte of text.
