For one of the questions i was asked to solve, I found the max value of an array using a for loop, so i tried to find it using recursion and this is what I came up with:
public static int findMax(int[] a, int head, int last) {
int max = 0;
if (head == last) {
return a[head];
} else if (a[head] < a[last]) {
return findMax(a, head + 1, last);
} else {
return a[head];
}
}
So it works fine and gets the max value, but my question is : is it ok to have for the base case return a[head] and for the case when the value at the head is > the value at last?
