The Recursion Bug That Finally Taught Me How to Debug Base Cases

1. 1Identify the base case in your recursive function
2. 2Test the base case with sample inputs to ensure it works correctly
3. 3Use a debugger or print statements to track the function's execution flow
4. 4Apply the recursive formula to a minimal example to verify its correctness
5. 5Analyze the stack trace to pinpoint the source of the recursion bug
