How to trace the recursive path?

Consider this code (shown in my previous post) class CastleDefenseI: INFINITY = 9 def __init__(self): self.dpw = 0 def soldiersVsDefenders(self,soldiers,defenders): # soldiers win if defenders <=0: return 0 # castle/defenders win

Is this an example of tail recursion?

I am trying to learn differences between tail recursion and non tail recursion. Is the following recursive code tail recursive? If it is not how to convert it to tail recursion? If it is how to convert it to non tail recursion? class CastleDefenseI: INFINITY = 9 def __init__(self):
