Question

What is the base case of a recursion?

A condition that prevents a recursive call to the function
A condition that results in a recursive call to the function
The starting value of the variable used to control the recursion
The values of the function variables just before the first recursive call to the function

Answer 1

do you have any idea right now

Answer 2

or like a guess

Answer 3

I was thinking either A or C

Answer 4

Yeah I think A as well

A definition i found said "The base case is a way to return without making a recursive call. In other words, it is the mechanism that stops this process of ever more recursive calls and an ever growing stack of function calls waiting on the return of other function calls."

From this site right here ~ https://www.usna.edu/Users/cs/choi/ic210/lec/l26/lec.html#:~:text=The%20base%20case%20is%20a,return%20of%20other%20function%20calls.

"The base case is a way to return without making a recursive call"


That basically restated the first answer choice, so i believe A is our answer

Answer 5

Ok thank you
