can u tell me what the prob is

[a.muqeet khan]

hello guys ! i have created a program just to understand how to return a value from using a recursive program

what it does it thati have have two variable i.e first and last
the value of first is zero and last is 10

not i want the function to continue until last ==to first
if not it would simply return the value of the last and decrement here is the code and the prob listed and yes i am noob

#include<conio.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
# define size 10;
int mergesort(int,int);
using namespace std;



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    int first=0,last=10;

    //cout <<" enter the vlaues";

    //for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
    //cin>>arr[i];
    cout<<mergesort(first,last);
    system("pause");
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

int mergesort(int first,int last,int mid)
{ int a=34343434;
   cout<<"mergesort called";
    if(first==last)
    {
                cout<<"its the end of the world";

                return a;
    }

if(first=!last)

{last--;
 cout<<"\n"<<last;
 mergesort(first,last,mid);
 return last;
}
return first;
}

here is the prob and plz tell me how to over come it

i created this program in visual c++ 2005

First things first:
Does mergesort() take two or THREE parameters? You have it both ways.

[a.muqeet khan]

this is not merge sort i was just testing a theory of mine or rather trying to understand it through experiment .
All this programdoes it that it recursivly displays counting in desending form that its

Ok then, now could you please answer thines01's question so we can help you further
