What do you call it when you loop around and arbitary number?

I'm stuck on a little programing script which basically counts to 3 and then goes back to 1 when it's done.
e.g. 1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 1
It's not really % or mod cause that would give
e.g. 1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 0
4 = 1
any ideas anyone?

Read the smarty manual.

Besides the fact that this is completely irrelevant to a content management system, that there are thousands of other places on the web that you could've asked this
TRIVIAL question, and that you didn't explain any context (like what language you were trying to write it in). I thought I'd just give a small example of a solution.
Code: Select all
for( i = 0; i < 100000; i++ )
{
n = i %3;
printf("%d\n",n+1);
}
