Hello guys.. I was solving a simple problem that asked me to find the sum of n numbers So I thought about solving this problem with recursion And since I don't like making a lot of functions, instead I decided to use the main function. And yeah that program worked in an efficient way ✅ If you want to try it here it is (just don't use freopen)
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int n = 0, x;
int main() {
//Made By Benjamin007
static long long sum = 0;
static int i = 0;
if (n == 0)
cin >> n;
i++;
if (i <= n) {
cin >> x;
sum += x;
if (i == n)cout << sum;
return main();
}
return 0;
}
Just because something would appear to work in a test example doesn't mean it always will, or is correct.
According to the C++ standard The main function has several special properties:
1) It cannot be used anywhere in the program
a) in particular, it cannot be called recursively
b) its address cannot be taken
