Print numbers 1 to N using Indirect recursion

Given a number N, we need to print numbers from 1 to N with out direct recursion, loops, labels. Basically we need to insert in above code snippet so that it can be able to print numbers from 1 to N?

#include <stdio.h> 
#define N 20; 
int main() 
{  
   // Your code goes Here. 
} 

Examples :

Input  : 10
Output : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Input  : 5
Output : 1 2 3 4 5

We have already discussed solutions in below posts :
Print 1 to 100 in C++, without loop and recursion
How will you print numbers from 1 to 100 without using loop?

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE ” first, before moving on to the solution.

Here’s the code that can print the numbers from 1 to 100 with out direct recursion, loops and labels. The code uses indirect recursion.

C

// C program to print from 1 to N using 
// indirect recursion/ 
#include<stdio.h> 
  
// We can avoid use of these using references 
#define N 20; 
int n = 1; 
  
// Prints n, increments n and calls fun1() 
void fun1() 
{ 
    if (n <= N) 
    { 
        printf("%d", n); 
        n++; 
        fun2(); 
    } 
    else
        return; 
} 
  
// Prints n, increments n and calls fun2() 
void fun2() 
{ 
    if (n <= N) 
    { 
        printf("%d", n); 
        n++; 
        fun1(); 
    } 
    else
        return; 
} 
  
// Driver Program 
int main(void) 
{ 
    fun1(); 
    return 0; 
} 

PHP

<?php 
// PHP program to print  
// from 1 to N using  
// indirect recursion 
  
// We can avoid use of 
// these using references 
$N = 20; 
$n = 1; 
  
// Prints n, increments  
// n and calls fun1() 
function fun1() 
{ 
    global $N; 
    global $n; 
  
    if ($n <= $N) 
    { 
        echo $n, " "; 
        $n++; 
        fun2(); 
    } 
    else
        return; 
} 
  
// Prints n, increments 
// n and calls fun2() 
function fun2() 
{ 
    global $N; 
    global $n; 
    if ($n <= $N) 
    { 
        echo $n, " "; 
        $n++; 
        fun1(); 
    } 
    else
        return; 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
fun1(); 
  
// This code is contributed  
// by m_kit 
?> 

Output :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

How This works?:
In above Above program, we just used two functions. One calls others and other one calls previous one, therefore indirect recursion.

Exercise :
Modify the above program to use N as a parameter instead of making it global.
