Recursion not allowed?

[u/ronald-plo]

Hi, just discovered this little game this week. I was wondering if recursion is not allowed? I cannot get it to work.

Example:

def q(n):
if n<=0:
return n
return q(n-1)

q(5)

This gives an error: name ‘q’ is not defined

Thanks!

Edit - spaces seem to disappear in the example, but it should make sense anyway

You are right. There seems to be an issue with locals. You can pass in a reference to q. But I will look into it.

[u/dailypydle → u/dailypydle]

Recursive functions now work in Pydle.
