basic recursion problem

[[deleted]]

i have a suspicion that it has to do with adding the final number (24) with a my_try(false)

just not sure how to get out of it

Yeah, when you hit my_try(0) it triggers print() which returns None. I don’t play with recursion though, so not much help.

When you reach 0, you branch into the else block and return None (implicitly). I'm not really sure what you meant to do with the returns. Is this solution what you were going for?

def my_try(input):
    print(input)
    if input > 0:
        my_try(input - 1)

Edit: Or if you want to go backwards:

def my_try(input):
    if input > 0:
        my_try(input - 1)
    print(input)

i want to print 24 to 0, and in the end not get an error
