A plead for sanity...

thing is the function I just posted. The caller calls itself.

Oh dear. :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :banghead: :shades:

So it infinite loops?

 

[Duwenbasden]

No, as i gets to 0 it won't enter the loop, thus ending the dig.

This is what we called "recursive functions".

 

[elmstfreddie]

No, as i gets to 0 it won't enter the loop, thus ending the dig.

Oh, right, forgot you -1 from i when you call it.

Duwenbasden' s point is that most of us can quess what it does at first sight but when somebody posts similar code with comment "It' s not working !!1 What' s wrong !!1!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: " then we don' t know what to suspect/ is going wrong. Additionaly we have to memorize each variable a, b, c, ..., z, x, y and try to think what function actually does.
Basically it is our time waste, we aren' t computers you know ? Not to mention I waste my time still

 

[elmstfreddie]

I'm kind of like a computer, my memory is good.
Well, for math that is.
That's why I couldn't remember i - 1???
OMG STFU! lol
My memory is good =/

So, basically, some do, some don't and some can, some can't.
Perfect.

Just what I always wanted to know.
