A comparison of recursive hello.js and iterative hello.js

compareHello.js

function hello(i) {
  if (i < 0) return; // base case
  console.log(i);
  hello(--i); // recursive call
}

hello(5); // output: 5 4 3 2 1 0


function hello(i) {
  if (i < 0) return; // base case
  hello(--i); // recursive call
  console.log(i); // statement after recursive call
}

hello(5); //output -1 0 1 2 3 4 -whooah what happened here?
