The problem is that in the version without reference variable you are modifying k in rec function so at the time of returning you save the result at wrong position in the array. You can fix it by making a copy of the variable k before modifying it and when storing the result use this coy instead. Your Code with AC
Damn, got it, really thanks a lot
