What is Base case

Question

Why base case is necessary

Answer 1

Hello there, the base case usually exists in an if statement where you don't return the function.

Here's an example in C#:

int Factorial(int number)
{
// base
if (number <= 1)
return 1;

return number * Factorial(--number);
}

Console.Write(Factorial(5));
// 120

The recursion doesn't end until the number reaches the base case.

Answer 2

The base case exists to terminate the recursion. Without base case the recursion will continue infinitely.
