Tell us what’s happening:
I didn’t too much understand about recursion, especially with this reduce one. I already watch some videos on youtube and read an article, but I’m still didn’t know why this won’t reduce.

Your code so far


// Only change code below this line
function countdown(n){
if (n < 1){
  return []
} else {
  const arr = countdown(n - 1);
  arr.push(n);
  return arr;
}
}
console.log(countdown(10))
// Only change code above this line
