Write a program in C++ to print an Array using Recursion

1. Using static variable: Static variables have a property of preserving their value even after they are out of their scope! Hence, static variables preserve their previous value in their previous scope and are not initialized again in the new scope.

   Syntax:

   static data_type var_name = var_value; 

   filter_none

   // C++ Program to print // an Array using Recursion    #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;    // Recursive function to print the array void print_array(int arr[], int size) {        // using the static variable     static int i;        // base case     if (i == size) {         i = 0;         cout << endl;         return;     }        // print the ith element     cout << arr[i] << " ";     i++;        // recursive call     print_array(arr, size); }    // Driver code int main() {        int arr[] = { 3, 5, 6, 8, 1 };     int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);        print_array(arr, n);        return 0; }

   filter_none

   Output:

   3 5 6 8 1
   

2. Without using Static variable:
   filter_none
