Generally, the following methods can be used to alter the parameter to reach the base case:
1. Incrementing the parameter: In this method, the value of the parameter is increased by a certain value. For example, if the parameter is an integer, you can increment it by 1 or a specific number until it reaches the desired base case value.
2. Decrementing the parameter: This method involves reducing the value of the parameter by a certain value. Similar to incrementing, you can decrement the parameter by 1 or a specific number until it reaches the desired base case value.
3. Adding one to the parameter: This method specifically adds the value 1 to the parameter. It can be used when the base case is achieved by adding 1 to the parameter repeatedly until it reaches the desired value.
4. Setting the parameter to zero: This method directly sets the value of the parameter to zero. It is commonly used when the base case is defined as the parameter being equal to zero.
It's important to choose the appropriate method based on the nature of the problem and the desired base case.
