Infinite Recursive call

[ThEoNeAnDOnLy]

I recently had an issue with my recursive project in class. Here is the code.

// Recursion.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//define recursive function to get values and store in array
void getInts(int myArrayParam[], int indexParam)
{
	//recursive call
	if (indexParam<=2)
	{
		cout<<"Please enter whole number number "<<indexParam+1<<":";
		cin>>myArrayParam[indexParam];
		indexParam++;
		getInts(myArrayParam, indexParam;
	}
}

//define recursive function to ouput values in array
void displayInts(int myArrayParam2[],int indexParam2)
{
	if(indexParam2<=2)
	{
		cout<<"Whole number number "<<indexParam2+1<<" is "<<myArrayParam2(indexParam2)<<"."<<endl;
		indexParam2--;
		displayInts(myArrayParam2, indexParam2);
	}
}

int main()
{
	//declare a three element int array and a variable to increment/decrement
	int myArray[3];
	int index;

	//call recursive function to get values and store in array
	getInts(myArray, index);

	//set index to largest element
	index = 2;

	//call recursive function to output values in array
	displayInts(myArray, index);

	cout<<endl<<endl<<endl;
	cout<<"Press any key to exit ";
	getch()
	return 0;
}

Somehow it will not end the recursion making it infinite. How to I end this madness.

You don't initialise index before calling getInts.

In displayInts your end coondition is wrong if indexParam2 <= 2 at the first call then it will be <= 2 for a very long time, seeming infinite.

And finally you don't have this problem with this code since the posted code does not compile.

I like that conclusion ;-)

And the indexParam goes up instead of down.

I C. I'll figure it out. .
