Why does the Fibonacci sequence have two base cases? In other words, would it be possible to write a correct recursive Fibonacci method that has only one base case?

What will be an ideal response?


We need two base cases, because if we don’t, by the time we get down to the case where n = 2, fib(2 ) is defined in terms of fib(1 ) and fib(0), and fib(0 ) is undefined. Since fib(0 ) is undefined its recursion will continue down forever.
