Need help with Recursion Methods
Need help with Recursion Methods
Hey! I am working on a school project but I am unable to figure this out. I have tried YouTubeing/Googling tutorials on recurision but a lot of them use the factorial example and that doesnt help me understand how to make this work.
This is the formula I need to use:
FV = P(1+i)n
n= year
i = interest rate
p = inital value
These are 3 inputs
public int PrinAmount;
public decimal interestRate;
public int investPeriod;
This is what the projects PDF says
The future value of the investment will be calculated using a recursive method. The calculated interest will be added to the principal value once every period (year).
My Current Code
The return always returns the value 0.
I have no possible idea how to make this work. Its been 3 days since I have started attempting to solve this problem. I will be researching more on this so if I do end up solving the issue I will be sure to explain how I got the recursion method to work.

private int RecursiveMethod(int aA)
{
/*

* n= year
* i = interest rate
* p = inital value
*/
if (aA==1)
{
return 1;
}
int testVar = 1 + Convert.ToInt32(interestRate); //Used to trace values passed
int testVar2 = PrinAmount * testVar; //Used to trace values passed
return (testVar2 * RecursiveMethod(aA - 1));
//return PrinAmount*(1+Convert.ToInt32(interestRate))*RecursiveMethod(aA-1) Used Before Added Traces
}
