Newbie c++ problems

I have just started learning c++ and i am facing a problem in one of the programs. I am using recursive functions and want to end the recursion of the function before the full recursion takes place. I dont know how to do so. If i use return then that particular execution of the function ends but the recursion continues. Plz help

As I recall, you need to have an escape condition which is valid for all recursions. I wrote this kind of stuff years ago, but haven't have a need for this in years.

Please give me the code you wrote, and I will take a look.
