C program only

 

Hi! The 'divide' function should apply recursion. Please fix the code below.

 

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int divide(int, int);

int main(void) {
    int dividend, divisor;

    printf("Enter the dividend: ");
    scanf("%d", &dividend);

    printf("Enter the divisor: ");
    scanf("%d", &divisor);

    printf("%d / %d = %d", dividend, divisor, divide(dividend, divisor));

    return 0;
}

int divide(int dividend, int divisor) {
    // TODO: Implement this function
  int S = ((dividend<0)^(divisor<0))?-1:1;
    dividend = abs(dividend);
    divisor = abs(divisor);
    int Q = 0;
    while (dividend >= divisor) {
        dividend -= divisor;
        ++Q;
  }
  return Q*S;
}
