Using pseudocode, what would the code for an echo using recursion be?UPDATE: Appears I should have been more clear. By echo I mean the pattern sound exhibits when it echos, not echo as in repeatly add one to self where self equals zero. Any thought on what the code would look like for a real echo? For example, I'd thought about echo(reduce-volume();exit-if-silent;echo()) but was sure if the logic made sense.UPDATE-2: Working through my own logic above an noticed it lacks a way to account for positive feedback, which I'm guessing is required.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback
Pseudocode for an echo using recursion
recursion;pseudocode
echo sound clip S at volume V:    if V is zero, done. (Exit recursion.)    start playing S.    V = V * F.    Wait for time T.    echo sound clip S at volume V.F is the attenuation factor, and I suppose a good value for it would be 0.5T is the delay between repetitions of the echo, it simulates the distance of the echoing wall.Note: of course, this is just tail recursion, so it can be trivially converted into a loop. However, it is possible to extend it to simulate multiple echoing walls at different distances, in which case the recursion might be the best way to do it.Positive feedback cannot be accounted for without working with the individual samples that the waveform is composed of, which calls for an altogether different, and far more complicated solution.
