Need help with the Tracing Answer!
Consider the following recursive method that calculates the greatest common divisor using Euclidean method.
Trace the above method for x=32 and y=46PHP Code:public static int GCD ( int x , int y )
{
if ( y == 0 )
return x;
else if ( x >= y && y > 0)
return GCD ( y , x % y );
else return GCD ( y , x );
}

Need help with the Tracing Answer!
This a question from my Assignment - I have to trace the answer.
As far as I can understand I think it should be GCD (46, 36). Is this right?
As x value is less than y.

Re: Need help with the Tracing Answer!
Yes! I'm confused weather if I'm getting a right answer. I think it is GCD (46, 36). Is this right?
Re: Need help with the Tracing Answer!
I'm not sure what you mean by the "right answer". The GCD method returns an int value.
What is returned for x=32 and y=46? Compile and execute the code to see what is returned.Trace the above method for x=32 and y=46
