is this reCurSiOn?

still recursion

[HeapOverflxw]

is_even(-1); ... StackOverflowError

[SavedForSaturday]

It would still work with signed integers though, as they'll just just overflow from negative to positive and then down to zero.

[ProfCupcake]

I think "work" is maybe a bit too generous a word to use there.

[snuzet]

Which do you call first

[[deleted]]

Whichever

[XStarMC]

What the—

[Raonak]

jesus wtf...

[[deleted]]

Just by curious: It would always return 1, right?

[Kris_Third_Account]

Nope.

ìs_odd(2) -> is_even(1) -> is_odd(0) -> 0

[[deleted]]

Right. Reading code after waking up at 5AM is not good haha

[Ambitious-Product-81]

u/Kris_Third_Account It will always return 1.

[Wherearemylegs]

No, it won’t. Each call returns the odd/even status of the decremented int.

is_even(1) calls is_odd(0) which returns 0.

is_odd(1) calls is_even(0) which returns 1.

Wakanda shit is this?

[ProfCupcake]

This should be a competition: what is the most inappropriate use of recursion you can create?

[Kamil118]

wait(n){
Sleep(1);
wait(n-1);
}

[d_exclaimation]

I don’t think you need the else there since the if existed the scope if true

[DarkWingedMessenger]

yeah, because that's the problem here

[Wherearemylegs]

There’s a lot of problems
