Ordering of Statements in Methods
Consider the following two methods:
public void count1(int x) {
if (X <= 0) {
System.out.println(x);
} else {
System.out.println(x);
count1(x-1);
}
}
|
public void count2(int x) {
if (X <= 0) {
System.out.println(x);
} else {
count2(x-1);
System.out.println(x);
}
}
|
- Do they calculate the same values?
- Do they do the calculations in the same way?
- Do they print the same results?
