algorithm - Execute a loop x times without loop or if statements -

how can rewrite following program in order not use loop , branch constructs? (no if, while, break, continue, switch, ...)

for(int i=0; < 5; i++){   // stuff } 

the approach can think of use ugly goto statements:

loop:   // stuff   goto loop; 

but how can exit loop after 5 runs? or there different way?

edit: solution should not recursive. function calls not yet allowed in course.

you can use recursive function , pass argument counter.
decrease counter each time before calling.

int func(int a,int counter) {   int c;     // .. logic   return counter==0?a:func(a,counter-1);        } 

this line return counter==0?a:func(a,counter-1); helps handling condition when counter==0 without using if.
