@ Ancient Dragon, the recursive function is incorrect. foo(x) has to return int. The correct version would be
int foo(int x)
{
if(x < 10)
{
x = x + 1;
return foo(x);
} |

No you cannot. But you can pass the variables by reference so that the changes are reflected in the original variables. For example

a=a+1;
b=b+1;
}
int main()
