Problem with function definitions

• Consider:

  
  #include <iostream>
  using std::cout;
  
  void print_b( int count )
  {
      --count; // 6
      if ( count == 0 ) return;
      cout << "b";
      print_a( count );
  }
  
  void print_a( int count )
  {
      --count; // 5 3 1
      if ( count == 0 ) return;
      cout << "a";
      print_n( count );
      return;
  }
  
  void print_n( int count )
  {
      --count; // 4 2 0
      if ( count == 0 ) return;
      cout << "n";
      print_a( count );
      return;
  }
  
  int main( )
  {
      // banana
      int count = 7;
      print_b( count );
      return 0;
  }
