What do you mean by recursive function in C?
is the process which comes into existence when a function calls a of itself to work on a problem. Any function which calls itself is called recursive function, and such function calls are called recursive . Recursion involves several numbers of recursive calls. However, it is important to impose a termination condition of recursion. Recursion code is shorter than code however it is to understand.
Recursion be applied to all the problem, but it is more useful for the tasks that can be defined in terms of similar . For Example, recursion may be applied to sorting, , and traversal .


What is memory allocation of recursive method?
Each recursive call creates a new of that method in the memory. Once some data is by the method, the copy is from the memory. Since all the and other stuff declared inside function get stored in the , therefore a separate stack is maintained at each call. Once the value is returned from the corresponding function, the stack gets . Recursion involves so much complexity in resolving and the values at each recursive call. Therefore we need to maintain the and track the values of the variables defined in the .


What is garbage value C?
Allocating a variable implies some memory for that . In some programming languages (like C) if a is allocated but assigned, it is said to have a " value" , that is, some that was being held any piece of the computer's .


What is storage classes in C?
A class defines the (visibility) and life-time of and/or functions within a C Program


How many storage classes are there?
Storage in C are used to determine the lifetime, visibility, location, and value of a variable. There are types of storage classes in C
Automatic
External

Register


Which storage class is faster?
For faster access of a , it is better to go for register rather than auto specifiers. Because, variables are stored in register memory whereas auto are stored in main memory. Only few variables can be in register .
