We tried some small experiments and it turned out that the following recursive calls: integer function foo(....) integer x, y * all necessary stopping conditions x = foo (left ) y = foo (right) foo = x + y end and integer function foo(....) integer x, y * all necessary stopping conditions foo = foo (left ) + foo (right) end give DIFFERENT answers. I am not 100% sure if I like that kind of recursion. Michal Jaegermann - Myrias Research Corporation & all usual disclaimers ......... & ....ihnp4!alberta!myrias!mj
