Hi all,
I tried to implement a recursive function in Jmol 14.3.13_2015.05.07 but
got strange results. In the documentation I couldn't find anything about
recursive user-defined functions.
For comparison the same example is shown below in Jmol (strange results)
and in Perl (expected results):
----- Jmol Example ------------------------
function recTest(level, maxLevel) {
print "level=" + level + " maxLevel=" + maxLevel;
if (level < maxLevel) {
recTest(level + 1, maxLevel);
} else {
print "recursion finished at level " + level;
}
}
recTest(1,3);
level=1 maxLevel=3
level=2 maxLevel=3
level=3 maxLevel=3
recursion finished at level 3
recursion finished at level 2
recursion finished at level 1
----- Perl Example ------------------------
sub recTest {
my ($level, $maxLevel) = @_;
print "level=$level maxLevel=$maxLevel\n";
if ($level < $maxLevel) {
recTest($level + 1, $maxLevel);
} else {
print "recursion finished at level $level\n";
}
}
recTest(1,3);
level=1 maxLevel=3
level=2 maxLevel=3
level=3 maxLevel=3
recursion finished at level 3
-------------------------------------------
Q: Is this a bug or is recursion generally not allowed?
Regards,
Rolf
