Im a beginner Programmer wondering if anyone knows what the base case is in
this recusive function:

#include <iostream.h>
int numActs=0;
void PrintStars(int n)       //recursive funcion
{ numActs++;
  if(n>=1)
  {   for(int i=1;i<=n;i++)
		  cout<<"*";
	  cout<<endl;
	  PrintStars(n/2);
  }
}
void main()
{ PrintStars(8);
  cout<<"Total number of activations is "
		<<numActs<<endl;
}
