Hello,

A array gets filled up with random elements (negative and positive).
Now i want to calculate the sum of ONLY the postive elements.

Iterative there is no problem, but in the recursion version i can only get the sum of both negative and postive.

How can i "check" in the recursive version that it only sums up the Postive elements?

Best Regards.

Iterative version:

    public int IterSomPosElem(int[] tabel, int n)
    {
        n = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < tabel.Length; i++)
        {
            if (tabel[i] >= 0)
            {
                n += tabel[i];
            }
        }

        return n;
    }

Recursive version atm (sums up all the elements insteed, of only the positive)

    public int RecuSomPosElem(int[] tabel, int n)
    {
        if(n == 1)
            return tabel[0]; //stopCriterium
        else
        {
            return (tabel[n - 1] + RecuSomPosElem(tabel, n - 1)); // how to check, so it only sums up the postive elements and "ignores" the negative elements.
        }

    }
