IS THERE A WAY TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF RECURSIVE STEPS IN A RECURSION PROGRAM

Question

anonymous · Answer

You can add a global variable, like count = 0, then incrementing it by 1 every time you call the function (like at the beginning of the function). Or, somewhat better, passing some counting variable, like count, as another argument, and set the default to 0. See this: http://codepad.org/WRPMlGvq

Try  to input the function into a other function. and you have 
def a():
    counter+=1
        def b():
              actual function 

or make a class. and for each call of the instance the counter get +1.

i hope it answered you question.
