Recursion FindPath[solved]

Solved, thank you!

Hard to say what's happening without seeing the canFlowOffMap method.

Sorry,

Actually it was meant to be canFindPath (I changed name). I'm making recursive calls to itself.

If any of the recursive calls ever return "true", then you should not recurse any further, but return straight back up the call stack. As it is, you're ignoring the returned value, and continue to look for solutions in other directions.

Thank you for replying. So then I need to put if statements inside my check N/W/S/E loops to check if the program returned true?? That's what I was thinking of earlier this morning but wasn't sure. Should I use a local variable to keep track of the boolean?

The easiest may be to replace "canFindPath(...)" by "if (canFindPath(...)) return true" or something like that.

Thank you Uff, that solved my problem.

Don't go and edit your first post

Now people who read this thread can't understand what the question was about, and the replies all read as nonsense.

I'd go further and ask you not to edit any post that has been replied to, because of the same reason.

Indeed, I feel like I helped someone who was not supposed to ask for help with his homework.
