[silent plank]

which question are you asking about

[fossil portal]

prob 10

[silent plank]

so what do you think the answer is

actually no

what do you think about each of the test cases

how do you think they will behave

[fossil portal]

1st one wont always cause an error since if the one value is 5, it will return an index of 0

2nd one will always have an error since if data doesnt have the target, the recursive method will always keep running until it goes out of bounds which then causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

3rd one is fine because since it has the target, it will return an index without an error

[silent plank]

yeah that's all correct

im confused on what you're asking then

[cerulean charm]

(You're not talking to OP)

[silent plank]

[silent plank]

and that's why you don't answer other peoples' questions

anyways

so from question 10, do you understand what exactly the issue in the code is

[sleek tartan]

yes, because it doesnt have it in the ar5ray so it wont even return any thing right

[silent plank]

right, but it's not going to loop forever

[sleek tartan]

i thought it was while

but it aint

[silent plank]

once it decrements down to -1, it's going to error

[silent plank]

which one?

[sleek tartan]

the lenght one

but i was just guessing

[silent plank]

ah no that wouldn't work at all

[sleek tartan]

oh...

[silent plank]

that's checking if the number is less than the array's length

but we start at the array's length, and we keep decrementing it, the - 1 in the recursive call

so the value keeps decreasing

[sleek tartan]

oh yeah! obvi!

[silent plank]

so doing index < array.length isn't useful here because it'll always be true

[sleek tartan]

so it stops when the list is less than 0

[silent plank]

this is the cause of the error, you need to prevent that somehow

[silent plank]

yeah that's what you need to do

[sleek tartan]

thank you ThatGuy Chris! you are always helping me whenever i post and giving detailed responses.
