Question
Please help. I don’t understand
Transcribed Image Text:Consider the following code for a recursive function named rf. You've been tasked with understanding why this recursive function causes an error. You haven't been told what it does, but know it causes a fault when you run rf (2). Draw out the recursive calls for rf (2) for a few steps to the best of your ability (like we've seen with Factorial and Fibonacci). What specific problem does this recursive call rf (2) have? Make sure your answer to this question includes: the drawn out function calls showing your work and a specific explanation of the problem this function has. int rf (int number) { if (number == 1) return 1; else return rf( rf(number-1) rf (number-1));
