Problem
I have this code:
I have drawn a execution flow/memory flow diagram for above program. Is this diagram correct or do I need some changes to make it correct?
What I have drawn looks like this:

public class RecurLoopTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
printit(2);
}
private static int printit(int n){
if(n>0){
printit(--n);
}
System.out.print(n+",");
return n;
}

Solution
It would be better to add the method arguments in the diagram, for example:
I don't think you need 4 drawings side by side for this, just one like this would be clear enough already.
printit(0) -- n=0, prints "0,", returns 0
printit(1) -- n=1, prints "0,", returns 0
printit(2) -- n=2, prints "1,", returns 1
main()I don't think you need 4 drawings side by side for this, just one like this would be clear enough already.
