Welcome, D4.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

See [this post](http://www.freecodecamp.com/forum/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) will also add backticks around text.

**Note:** Backticks are not single quotes.

Also, here is a potentially useful discussion on the topic of recursion: [Replace Loops using Recursion -1 explanation](http://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/replace-loops-using-recursion-1-explanation/368021/4)

Hope this helps
