raisun lakra Just do like this: void printArrayElement(int a[], int i, int n) { if (i < n) { printf(" %d", a[i]); printArrayElement(a, ++i, n); } } no need to do any other thing

raisun lakra Because after printing last element i would be increase and garbage value will be print. For example if element is 5 then i would be 5 but a[5] is nothing in the array so garbage value will come https://code.sololearn.com/c6ko0WpHWkqT/?ref=app

The function printArrayElement() keeps printing until it finds a zero in memory. Unless you deliberately place a zero in the last element, it may keep printing past the end of the array until there happens to be a zero somewhere in memory. A quick fix to make this work would be to allocate one more element to the array size and assign a zero there. int a[n+1]; //add one more element printf("\nInput %d element in the array :",n); for(int i=0;i<n;i++){ printf("\nElement - %d : ",i); scanf("%d",&a[i]); } a[n] = 0; //force a terminating zero

C does not automatically initialize local arrays with zero. After array declaration of n elements, the array is addressed by indices 0 through n-1. If you access arr[n] or arr[n+1] then it is outside the array boundary. The two extra values that you see are the next two values that are found in memory past the end of the array.
