Question

How do we generally alter the parameter to get to the base case?(1 point)
Responses

setting the parameter to zero
setting the parameter to zero

adding one to the parameter
adding one to the parameter

decrementing the parameter
decrementing the parameter

incrementing the parameter

Answer 1

The correct response is: **decrementing the parameter**.

This is because, in many recursive functions, you typically reduce the problem size (or the parameter) in each step to eventually reach the base case.
