Question

Consider the getArea method from the textbook shown below.
Public int getArea()
{
If (width <= 0) { return 0; } // line #1
Else if (width == 1) { return 1; } // line #2
Else
{
Triangle smallerTriangle = new Triangle(width - 1); // line #3
Int smallerArea = smallerTriangle.getArea(); // line #4
Return smallerArea + width; // line #5
}
}
Where is/are the terminating condition(s)?
A) line #1
B) line #2
C) lines #1 and #2
D) line #4

The terminating condition(s) in this code is/are lines #1 and #2. If the width is less than or equal to 0, it will return 0, and if the width is 1, it will return 1. These conditions will prevent the code from entering an infinite recursion loop, ensuring that the code eventually terminates.
