how does this code execute the finally block even though it’s never evaluated to be true?

def divisive_recursion(n): try: if n <= 0: return 1 else: return n + divisive_recursion(n // divisive_recursion(n – 1)) except ZeroDivisionError: return -1 finally: if n == 2: print(“Finally block executed for n=2”) elif n == 1: print(“Finally block executed for n=1”) print(divisive_recursion(5)) Here, divisive_recursion(1) results in 1 + (1 // divisive_recursion(0)), then divisive_recursion(0) returns 1 […]

Python Function Recursion used with Try/Except Error

def main(): def numSys(x): if x == 1: print (“BASELINE (1) REACHED!”) return 1 else: return x * numSys(x-1) def userSystem(): a = input(“Initial Number: “) try: a = int(a) except: print (“ERROR! Please type a valid number!”) userSystem() factorialSum = numSys(a) print (factorialSum) #INITIATE FUNCTIONS userSystem() main() When inputting a number on the first […]

Why is my recursive function not returning all of the data?

I have a python function to return all the files in some directory (and its sub-directories) as a numpy array, it goes over all of the files (as shown by the print statement), but only returns the ones in the file path specified, whats happening? Heres my minimal reproducible version:
