[Solved] Why does this recursion return 0?
Your base case is return 0. After the line return n * bounce(n – 1) where n is 1, bounce(0) will be executed, returning 0 and multiplying all your previous results by 0. Following the calls, we see: 5>=1, so return 5*bounce(4) 4>=1, so return 5*4*bounce(3) 3>=1, so return 5*4*3*bounce(2) 2>=1, so return 5*4*3*2*bounce(1) 1>=1, … Read more
