The general case in a recursive function is the case for which the solution is obtained directly.
true
false

False.

Explanation:

The general case of recursive function is when the solution is obtained recursively by simplification at each step.

However, it is the base case in a recursive function when the solution is obtained directly.

The general case must be reducible to base to arrive at a solution else the recursion would be a infinite recursion.

well you could find somebody who doesn't want theirs and ask for it or possibly trick a dealer into giving it to you for free.
