[n 1 p] 3 <=<= here is the stack size. "sum"] But I believe that a recursive function has the stack greater, 3*n, not 3. For every recursion I believe that the stack size get greater with 3, so the stack is dependent of n. Is it true? Is this a little error of explanation in INFO file? i think the intention of the documentation is that "this function" means this "this function call". to me it seems pretty clear, but that may be due to recent coffee intake... could you suggest a change to make the explanation clearer for you? thi
