FUNCTION:
nbrList ( items ; counter ; result )
CALL:
nbrList( "firstName¶lastName¶zip" ; "" ; "" )
I'm looking for a way (if possible) to improve it so that instead I can call it
without the placeholders, like this:
nbrList( "firstName¶lastName¶zip")
and get the same result:
1. firstName
2. lastName
3. zip
All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.
/*
// nbrList ( items ; counter ; result )
// Recursively loops thru the elements in a return-delimited list and adds the
order number to each element.
Sample Input:
nbrList( "firstName¶lastName¶zip" ; "" ; "" )
NOTE: Do NOT enter any values for the "counter" and "result" parameters - only
enter empty string (""); those parameters exist solely as placeholders for the
tail recursion.
Sample Output:
1. firstName
2. lastName
3. zip
Description:
This function will recursively loop thru the elements in a return-delimited
list adding the order number to each element.
