递归调用——C++ Primer Plus

#include <iostream>
void countdown(int n);

int main()
{
	countdown(4);
	return 0;
}

void countdown(int n)
{
	using namespace std;
	cout<<"Counting down ... "<<n<<endl;
	if(n>0)
	{
		countdown(n-1);
	}
	cout<<n<<": Kaboom!\n";
}

注意，每个递归调用都创建自己的一套变量，因此当程序到达第5次调用时，将有5个独立的n变量，其中每个变量的值都不同。为验证这一点，读者可以修改程序清单，使之显示n的地址和值：

void countdown(int n)
{
	using namespace std;
	cout<<"Counting down ... "<<n<<" n at "<<&n<<")"<<endl;
	if(n>0)
	{
		countdown(n-1);
	}
	cout<<n<<": Kaboom!"<<"         (n at "<<&n<<")"<<endl;
}

Counting down ... 4 n at 0012FF30)
Counting down ... 3 n at 0012FED8)
Counting down ... 2 n at 0012FE80)
Counting down ... 1 n at 0012FE28)
Counting down ... 0 n at 0012FDD0)
0: Kaboom!         (n at 0012FDD0)
1: Kaboom!         (n at 0012FE28)
2: Kaboom!         (n at 0012FE80)
3: Kaboom!         (n at 0012FED8)
4: Kaboom!         (n at 0012FF30)
