Display Number From 1 to 100 Without Loop in Windows Store App

Introduction

Today I am describing a very simple but interesting thing. Because we always print number from 1 to 100 using a loop. But someone asked me how to print these numbers without using a loop. Really at that time I had no idea although I proceeded to do it. I finally got the idea to use recursion (in which a method calls itself) and print the number.

Use the following procedure to implement it.

Step 1

First of all you have to create a new Windows Store Application, as in:

• Open Visual Studio 2012
• "File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
• Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"
• Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application

Step 2

Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="number_app.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:number_app"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid Background="Red">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="116*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="45*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="518*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="89*"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="215*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="479*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="200*"/>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<TextBlock Text="Display Number from 1 to 100 without loop" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" FontFamily="Arial" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"></TextBlock>
