Question

The following recursive method is causing an exception because the base case is missing.

This method is suppose to display the content of an array backward. For example If the array num contains 1 2 3 4 5 6 then the call print(num, 5) should display: 6 5 4 3 2 1

public static void print(int[] a, int index)
{
       System.out.println(a[index]);
       print(a, index -1);
}

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 out of bounds for length 5

 

 fill in the blank so that the exception does not happen, in order of the given numbers 

public static void print(int[] a, int index)
{
if( __1___ ___2__ ___3__) <----- base case
__4____
   
 System.out.println(a[index]);

     print(a, index -1); <---- recursive case
}
