Math loop but solves when x is correct [closed]
$begingroup$
Is there a calculation of some sort that loops itself when for example x =1 but stops looping and solves when x is for example 5.

Please clarify the question (add some proper definitions, like what do you mean by trap?), and ideally, some wider context for this question

@YuriyS What i mean with trap: a calculation that loops when solved wrong but solved itself when example : x is wrong the hole calculation starts again but when x is right it works out.

Still no idea what you mean, maybe it's just me though. What you absolutely should do is edit the post with additional explanation instead of adding several comments. There's an edit button for a reason

The following is more of a program (in pseudocode) than a "calculation", but it can trap itself (when $1$ is input) and can calculate $3$ (when something not $1$ is input, such as $5.$).
INPUT $x$
Label (A)
If $x=1$ GOTO (A)
If $x neq 1$ GOTO (B)
Label (B)
OUTPUT $3$
END

You did not just use two (!) goto directives in 7 lines of code :

@YuriyS Yes, that's sloppy. OP just wanted something so I'll leave it. Guess the second GOTO could be dropped, along with LABEL (B),
