Basic Types

int - An integer
float - A floating point number
char - A character
char * - An array of characters (more on this later... if you think about it, sounds kinda like a string doesn't it?)

You've already seen int in the example before - it's the return value in the special main function (the entry point for every C program).

When declaring a variable, you must specify its type before the name and assigning a value.

Assignment

Someone allowed a Pythonista into our beautiful C codebase!

Fix the bugs caused by missing types on lines 4, 5, and 6.

Here's the first variable for you:

int max_recursive_calls = 100;
