Question

The following recursive function returns the index of the minimum value of an array. Assume variable n is the size of the array.

 

Modify the code so only a single recursive call is made when the second "if" statement is true.

int min(int a[], int n){
if(n == 1)
return 0;
if (a[n-1] > a[min(a, n-1)]
return min(a, n-1);
return n-1;
}
Transcribed Image Text:int min(int a[], int n){ if(n == 1) return 0; if (a[n-1] > a[min(a, n-1)] return min(a, n-1); return n-1; }
