Checking the recursion code

[grsudarshan9859]

I am able to get the output according the needs but it is not executing , can anyone check what is wrong with the code ???

// Only change code below this line
let array = [];
function countdown(n){

if(n>=1){
  
  array.push(n);
  countdown(n-1);
  return array;
}else {
return [];
}
// return;
}
// Only change code above this line

console.log(countdown(10));

It appears you are declaring a variable called array outside of your function (let array = [];). Although it may work having a function that modifies a global variable, in this case you’re function should be building up the array, and then returning it, not just adding to a variable declared outside of the function scope. Check the example within the challenge, you can see there is no global variable needed.
