When defining recursive void methods you should:
A) Ensure there is no infinite recursion.
B) Ensure that each stopping case performs the correct action for that case.
C) Ensure that if all recursive calls perform their actions correctly,then the entire case performs correctly.
D) All of the above
Recursive Void Methods
Recursive void methods are functions that call themselves without returning a value, commonly used for tasks that require repetitive actions or to traverse recursive data structures.
Infinite Recursion
A recursion without a base case, or that never reaches it, leading to a never-ending call stack and eventually a stack overflow error.
- Recognize the necessity of a base case in recursive methods to prevent infinite recursion.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
All of the given choices are correct when defining recursive void methods.
A) Ensuring there is no infinite recursion avoids situations where a program may run indefinitely, causing errors or crashes.
B) Each stopping case should perform the correct action to ensure that the method works correctly when it reaches the base case(s).
C) If all recursive calls perform their actions correctly, then the entire case will perform correctly, ensuring that the method works as expected.
