Basic JavaScript - Use Recursion to Create a Countdown

JavaScript
1

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Your code so far

// Only change code below this line
function countdown(n){
   if (n <= 1) {
    return [];
  } else {
    const countArray = countdown(n - 1);
    countArray.push(n);
    return countArray;
  }
}
// Only change code above this line

I would add a console log to see what countArray looks like when it is returned.

what you have there is what the example explained. That works for counting up. now you are writing a count down. So how would you reverse this function?

yes of course your right I needed the reverse order for count down. thanks! I figured it out.
