Can you please explain this code to me step-by-step? I especially did not get how s.append(x) is iteratively adding the elements back to the stack without any loop.

Note: If you can spot any mistake in the function call, please point that out as well.

 

CODE To Delete Middle Element of a Stack:


def deleteMid_util(s, sizeOfStack, current):
    
        
    #if current pointer is half of the size of stack then we 
    #are accessing the middle element of stack.
    if(current==sizeOfStack//2):
        s.pop()
        return
        
    #storing the top element in a variable and popping it.
    x = s.pop()
    current+=1
        
    #calling the function recursively.
    deleteMid_util(s,sizeOfStack,current)
        
    #pushing the elements (except middle element) back 
    #into stack after recursion calls.
    s.append(x)

def deleteMid(s, sizeOfStack):
    deleteMid_util(s, sizeOfStack, 0)
    
  
res = deleteMid([1,2,3,4,5], 5)  
print(res)
