Hi all ! Does somebody know how to use 2 calls at a time in a recursive function...? for example I want to evaluate the following myf[x_] : = If[ x > 5, i = x ; j = x ; i--; j--; myf[i]; myf[j] ] I get the answer from myf[7] i=6 i=5 j=5 j=5 apparently Mathematica doesn't like much the second term myf[j], because it start from 5 to 5 ! and not from 6 to 5 like variable i............how can I manage such a problem ? Thanx for any suggestion or advice. Benoit. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Laboratoire des Systèmes Intelligents de Perceptions UFR Mathématiques-Informatique Phone: 01-41-48-08-55 / 01-44-55-35-58 web site: http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/sip-lab/sip1.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
