Draw the recursion tree when n = 12, where n represents the length of the array, for the following recursive method:
int sumSquares(int[] array, int first, int last) { if (first == last) return array[first] * array[first]; int mid = (first + last) / 2; return sumSquares(array, first, mid) + sumSquares(array, mid + 1, last);}
Determine a formula that counts the numbers of nodes in the recursion tree.
