I was going through the example below which is taken from the example
section in the R documentation for accessing the function call stack.
I am confused and I have 3 questions that I was hoping someone could
answer.
1) why is y equal to zero even though the call was done with gg(3)
2) what does
It is because you have a recursive function call and the value of 'y'
when you print is it 0. I have added another statement that might
help clarify what you are seeing. At the point at which the most
current value of the function 'ggg' is evaluated (last call), the
value of 'y' is zero and you
