i have a program like this.

‪#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(int i) {                /*i will start from value 1 i think */
if(i<10)                        
printf("\n%d",main(++i));        /* printing the values until i becomes 9 */    
}

output : 
5
2
2
2
Can anyone explain how the output is coming ?? what main(++i) is returning for each iteration. 

Also it is producing output 5111 if i remove the \n in the printf function. Thanks in advance.
