@abhishekchoudhary I did not understand how you were trying to make recursive calls and how duplicate(a+1) should work. I changed your code a little and replaced it with 4 lines code that doesn’t involve recursion.

You see, I want to do it by recursion, and not just print the elements but also make the changes in the original array.

Okay this is a recursive code that makes changes in the original array ,please see https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/196933
