Recursion to Create a Countdown problem

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m passing all the tests except for “You should use recursion to solve this problem.”

Your code so far


//Only change code below this line
function countdown(n){
return n > 0 ? [n].concat(countdown(n - 1)) : [];
}
console.log(countdown(5)); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

I don’t think the exercise recognizes the recursion being called from the ternary operator. You might try using an actual if, then and see if it fixes the issue.
