Yeah; Terse replies can be correct for some interpretations, and can be incorrect for other and potentially unintended interpretations. Text is like that. I too wondered whether your reply was “buy a new computer”, or “buy a new iPhone”, as the broken charger isn’t the fundamental issue here. It’s having no computer available to reset a stuck iPhone.

if your iPhone is showing a restore screen as inferred from the Related Article linked above, your options are to use or to borrow a Mac or Windows PC for the reset, or to contact Apple Support or an Apple authorized repair provider and ask them perform the reset.
To contact Apple, use the Support link in the lower left corner of this webpage, and chat or call as available.

The original poster (whose gender we don't know, by the way) said they didn't have a computer. You could have meant they should buy a new computer.
Buy a new one.
I'm sure that pwrmacbob means by a new charger. You do not need to purchase an Apple branded charger. There are many 3rd party chargers and charging cables available.
