Recursion FAIL

Name: Anonymous 2010-02-08 22:29

I'm learning to hate recursion terribly, but I need to do it for this project.
The point of the project is to go from pointA to pointB using recursion in java. And print out all paths.
my input is
5
3 0
1 3

output should be about 10 paths in form of (col,row)
can I get a few pointers and maybe a little help?
private void pathFinder(int row, int col, int xB, int yB, int[][] array)
{
    if(row==xB && col==yB)
    {
        System.out.println("("+row+","+col+") ");
    }
    if(canIGoNorth(row,xB)==true)
    {
        System.out.print("("+row+","+col+") ");           
        pathFinder(row-1,col,xB,yB,array);
        System.out.print("("+row+","+col+") ");
    }
    if(canIGoEast(col,yB)==true)
    {
        System.out.print("("+row+","+col+") ");           
        pathFinder(row,col+1,xB,yB,array);
        System.out.print("("+row+","+col+") ");
           
    }
       
       
    }
inb4 learn to code, everythings wrong, and java sucks.

Brilliant! I'll just deliver an error message when users attempt to open files over 640kB in size, even though they have 8GB of memory.
What the fuck dude, nice strawman. I am talking about safety-critical software here. I never said you should obey these guidelines for your fucking word processor. But you should absolutely obey a similar set of guidelines to land a plane. Simply hoping you've reserved enough stack space for your recursion in that scenario is insanity.
