Give a recursive algorithm which takes as input a sequence of numbers and returns the minimum (i.e., smallest) number in the sequence. Your algorithm should not use an iterative loop. We'll use the convention of considering only the part of the array that begins at the given index. In this way, a recursive call can pass index+1 to move down the array. The initial call will pass in index as 0.


minRecursive([2, 1, 2, 3, 4], 0) → 1
minRecursive([2, 2, 0], 0) → 0
minRecursive([1, 3, 5], 0) → 1

...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)

public int minRecursive(int[] nums, int index) { }
