Thread: Recursion Revisited again, and again!

This may help.

Code:

template <class elemType>
int arrayListType<elemType>::seqSearch(const elemType& item)
{
   static int loc =0;
   loc++;
   //Assuming here that length and list are members
   if (length == 0 || loc == length)
   { 
      return -1;
   }
   else if (list[loc] == item)
   {  
     return loc;
   }   
   else
   {
     return seqSearch(item);  //THIS IS MY PROBLEM STATEMENT - MENTAL BLOCK!!!
   }

} //end seqSearch
