Question

Choose the code snippet which uses recursion for linear search.
a)

public void linSearch(int[] arr, int first, int last, int key)
{
 if(first == last)
        {
  System.out.print("-1");
 }
 else
        {
  if(arr[first] == key)
                {
   System.out.print(first);
  }
  else
                {
   linSearch(arr, first+1, last, key);
  }
 }
}

b)

      public void linSearch(int[] arr, int first, int last, int key)
      {
  if(first == last)
                {
   System.out.print("-1");
  }
  else
                {
   if(arr[first] == key)
                        {
    System.out.print(first);
   }
   else
                        {
    linSearch(arr, first+1, last-1, key);
   }
  }
      }

c)

public void linSearch(int[] arr, int first, int last, int key)
{
 if(first == last)
        {
  System.out.print("-1");
 }
 else
        {

                {
   System.out.print(last);
  }
  else
                {
   linSearch(arr, first+1, last, key);
  }
 }
}
