    why?

    i want to know how
    because i've got amidterm tomorrow

    thanx for your help

    i will see how to use it with while
    but should i change what is given to the function or i keep them like they are i ment a, 0 and 2

    and what about the if else statment should i cancel it
    and put this insted

    printf("%d", array[low]);
    while(low!=high){
    for(int i=0; i<=2;i++){
    low++;
    printf("%d", array[low]);}
    }

    You said if low == high return so if you put it in a while loop k\like you did it will never end if low==high!
    so keep the if statement and combine it with your second thing to make a comprimise

    useing the for statemt will clean your code and make it easier to understand so use it
