can we write the program to write no 1 to n without using
switch,do,while,for,goto,if and conditional operator where n will be
input by user.

What, is your whole class coming to the NG for help?

Use recursion -- 'Nuff said

How will you stop recursing without using conditionals?

OK OK Here it is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef void (*callback)(int);
void zero(int);
void greaterZero(int);

callback callbackTable[2] = {
zero,
greaterZero
};

void zero(int a)
{
exit(0);
}

void greaterZero(int a)
{
printf("%d\n",a--);
callbackTable[a>0](a);
}

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
greaterZero(atoi(argv[1]));
return 0;
}

I tried to avoid any warnings. A version with error checking
follows...

As promised, here is a version with error
checking

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef void (*callback)(int);
void zero(int);
void greaterZero(int);

callback callbackTable[2] = {
zero,
greaterZero
};

void zero(int a)
{
exit(0);
}

void greaterZero(int a)
{
printf("%d\n",a--);
callbackTable[a>0](a);
}

void errormessage(int);
void Continue(int);

callback errortable[2] = {
errormessage,
Continue
};

void errormessage(int a)
{
printf("Wrong input\nUsage:\npb n, where n>0\n");
exit(1);
}

void Continue(int a)
{
}


int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
int a;

errortable[argc>1](1);
a = atoi(argv[1]);
errortable[a >0](a);
greaterZero(atoi(argv[1]));
return 0;
}

No. The thing forbidden is the use of the conditional operator (?.
You're allowed to use logical operators (I assume).

#include <stdio.h>

void print(int n) {
n && (print(n-1), 1) && printf("%d\n", n);
}

int main(void) {
print(10);
return 0;
}

-nrk.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char input[100];
scanf("%100s", input);
printf("1 to %s\n", input);
return 0;
}

Possible UB.

I can't imagine any possibile way that this is not a homework
assignment, which begs the question "Why are so many of us immediately
providing solutions instead of guidance?".
