Countdown w/ recursion

Hey everyone,

Could someone help me identify what I did wrong in this code?


// Only change code below this line
function countdown(n){
if (n < 0){
  return [];
} else {
 const countArray = countdown(n);
 countArray.push(n - 1);
 return countArray;
}
}

// Only change code above this line

Challenge: Use Recursion to Create a Countdown

Link to the challenge:

In this line you’ve created an infinite recursion here. In recursion, you need your call to the recursive function to have a decreasing n.
