[R] strange output of cat function used in recursive function

Hello Dear R-help I tried to understand how recursive programming works in R. Bellow is simple recursive function. binary1 <- function(n) { if(n > 1) { binary(as.integer(n/2)) } cat(n %% 2) } When I call binary1(10) I get 1010. I believe that cat function stores value to a buffer
