Consider the GetArea Method from the Book Shown Below

Question 8

Multiple Choice

Consider the getArea method from the book 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
}
}
Assume lines #1 and #2 were changed to this:
If (width == 1) { return 1; } // new line #1-2
What will happen when this code is executed?


A) A negative or zero width would cause problems.
B) Nothing - the method would still be correct.
C) We would lose our only recursive case.
D) A positive width would reduce the correct area by 1.
