I am a beginner in JAVA, and I am having some difficulties tracking recursion and understaning it fully and so here I have the code for a program that if we write 3, it will output: 1

12

123

12

1

Or if we write 5, it will output

1

123

1234

public class Aufgabe3 {

    private static void printSequenz(int n) {
if(n<1){
    return;
   }   printLoToHi(n-1);
        printMany(n);
        printHiToLo(n-1);
    }
    private static void printHiToLo(int n){
        if(n<1){
            return;
        }

        printMany(n);
        printHiToLo(n-1);
    }
    private static void printLoToHi(int n){
        if(n<1){
            return;
        }
        printLoToHi(n-1);
        printMany(n);
    }
    private static void printMany(int n){
        for(int i=1;i<=n;i++){
            System.out.print(i);
        }
        System.out.println();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
printSequenz(5);
    }

}

Now here is what I don't understand. For example at the method printHiToLo it calls the method printMany(n), and then it calls itself for n-1, and this repeats until n is greater than 0. But I don't understand how the method printLoToHi works? How does it ever reach the printMany method? If it just calls itself until n is greater than 0. This is really confusing to me... Thanks to anyone that helps me out :)
