Converting an iterative function to recursive

Question

I know people usually ask this question the other way round, but I have the following problem: I have this iterative function which counts all the nodes in a circular doubly

Answer 1

I think this should work (but note that it requires an extra argument for tracking start):

int count(node *start)
{
    return count_helper(start, start);
}
int count_helper(node *current, node *start)
{
    int c;
    c = 0;
    if(current == NULL)
        return 0;
    if((current->roll_no) == 20)
        c = 1;
    if(current->next == start) return c;
    return (c + count_helper(current->next, start));
}
