[Solved] What is returned by the call wacky 4,6? also how to calculate this recursion?

by


When you call a function recursively, they add the new function to a stack until have a final result (return). When it occurs, you go back return by return in the stack.

An Execution example:

First Round wacky(4, 6):

  • 4 <= 1? No, so call wacky(4 - 1, 6 - 1)

    Second Round wacky(3, 5):

    • 3 <= 1? No, so call wacky(3 - 1, 5 - 1)

      Third Round wacky(2, 4):

      • 2 <= 1? No, so call wacky(2 - 1, 4 - 1)

        Fourth Round wacky(1, 3):

        • 1 <= 1? Yes
        • return 3;
      • return 3 + 4;
    • return 3 + 4 + 5;
  • return 3 + 4 + 5 + 6;
