Problem with recursion

[R Dom]

I have a following code.

The code is to replace the brackets from the formula.

private void processBrackets(String formula){
		int startingBracket=0;
		int endingBracket=0;
		boolean found=false;
		String procesedFormula="";
		char formulaArray[] = formula.toCharArray();
		for(int i=0;i<formula.length();i++){
			Character c = formula.charAt(i);	
			if(c.equals('(')){
			    found = true;
				startingBracket = i;
			}else if(c.equals(')')){
				endingBracket=i;
			}
			if(found && startingBracket < endingBracket){
				for(int k= startingBracket;k<=endingBracket;k++){
					formulaArray[k]='*';
				}
				for(int j=0;j<formulaArray.length;j++)
				  procesedFormula = procesedFormula+formulaArray[j];
				
				System.out.println(procesedFormula);
				break;
		     }
		} 
		if(procesedFormula.indexOf('(') != -1){
			processBrackets(procesedFormula);
		}
	}

I am trying to call processBrackets method recursively. But I am having problems.
There is some problem in the if loop at the end.
Can anyone help me to make this code correct. The problem is with the call stack.

Hey,

You'll have to explain more what you mean with "There is some problem". What is the problem? What output do you get that you don't expect? What input are you using?
I tested and it works as it has been coded...
What is it that you are trying to achieve that it doesn't do?
