}

Only breaks on first call
Breaks at each recursive call
Debugger statement in recursive functions: 1) Breaks at each recursive function call, 2) Shows complete call stack of recursion, 3) Allows inspection of each recursive step, 4) Maintains separate scope for each call, 5) Enables debugging of recursive logic, 6) Helps track recursive state changes, 7) Useful for understanding recursive flow, 8) Essential for debugging recursive algorithms.
Only breaks on last call
Breaks randomly
