recursive formulas with arrays

Hi, I'm trying to make a program that prints the first 100 numbers of cont, using the recursive function listed below. Unfortunately, what I wrote doesn't work, so I was wondering, if it was even possible to do this.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int cont[100],n;

    cont[n]=(n+1);
    for(n=1;cont<=100;n++)
    {
        printf("%s", cont);
    }
}

---

Thanks

You seem to not know what recursion is. All you have is a loop. A recursive function is a function that calls itself. Like so:

Code:

---

void foo( int x )
{
    if ( x < 10 )
        foo( --x );
    else
        printf("x is %d\n", x );
}

Okay, several problems here:

1) There is nothing recursive about that code whatsoever.
2) You're using n uninitialized
3) Your cont array doesn't actually contain anything meaningful.
4) The %s specifier for printf() expects the passed argument to be a string. cont is not a string.

5) I have no idea what the hell that foo function is supposed to do. ;) I blame tequila.

It's supposed to be a very long loop if x is less than 10.
