Question

Below is a recursive version of binary search:
int binarySearch(int nums[], int low, int high, int target)
{
 if (low > high)
 return -1;
 int mid = (low + high)/2; 
 if (target == nums[mid])
 return mid; 
 else if (target < nums[mid])
 return binarySearch(nums, low, mid - 1, target);
 else
 return binarySearch(nums, mid + 1, high, target);
}
For the 4 statements below, indicate whether you think it is True or False. If you like, you 
can provide a description of your answer for partial credit in case you are incorrect.
1) The code “if (low > high) return -1;” is a base case for this function
2) The code “int mid = (low + high)/2;” is a base case for this function
3) The code “if (target == nums[mid]) return mid;” is a base case for this function
4) The code “else return binarySearch(nums, mid + 1, high, target);” is a base case for 
this function
