Question

I have been out of touch with Algorithms for a while and have start revising my concepts these days. To my surprise the last i remember of my recursions skill was that i was goo

Answer 1

Run this piece of code to understand recursion well.I have considered the stack depth in the console.Hope it makes it easy to understand!

    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include 
    using namespace std;
    static int stackdepth=0;
    void mergesort(int[],int,int);
    void merge(int[],int,int,int);
    void  space(int);
    int main(int argc,char *argv[])
    {
        int a[8]={5,7,1,4,9,3,2,0};
        mergesort(a,0,7);
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
    //  cout<
