trying to manipulate it will result in an error. So, we can start by imagining
an empty stack, with an integer \\(x\\) on top:
{{< todo >}}Stack with x on top{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "if_999_1_part1.png" >}}
Then, \\(\\text{PushI} \\; 0\\) will push 0 onto the stack:
{{< todo >}}Stack with x then 0{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "if_999_1_part2.png" >}}
\\(\\text{Slide} \\; 1\\) will then remove the 1 element after the top element: \\(x\\).
We end up with the following stack:
{{< todo >}}Stack with 0{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "slide_example_part3.png" >}}
The function has finished running, and we maintain convention 3: the function's
return value is in place of its argument on the stack.

Let's walk through this. We start with only the arguments
on the stack:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_all_part1.png" >}}
Then, \\(\\text{Offset} \\; 0\\) duplicates the first argument
(the number):
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with number duped{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_all_part2.png" >}}
Next, 0 is pushed onto the stack:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with number duped, and zero{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_all_part3.png" >}}
Finally, \\(\\text{Eq}\\) performs the equality check:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with boolean{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_all_part4.png" >}}
Great! Now, it's time to branch. What happens if "true" is on top of
the stack? In that case, we no longer need any more information.

As before, we push the desired answer onto the stack:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with 1 on the stack{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_base_part2.png" >}}
Then, to follow convention 3, we must get rid of the arguments. We do this by using \\(\\text{Slide}\\):
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with only 1 on the stack{{< /todo >}}

Great! The \\(\\textbf{if}\\) branch is now done, and we're left with the correct answer on the stack.
Excellent!

Why these three instructions? Well, with the function now on the top of the stack, the number argument is somewhat
buried, and thus, we need to use \\(\\text{Offset} \\; 1\\) to get to it:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with extra function and number on top{{< /todo >}}
{{< stack_image "recursion_rec_part2.png" >}}
Then, we push a negative number, and add it to to the number on top. We end up with:
{{< todo >}}image of stack of factorial call with extra function and number-1 on top{{< /todo >}}
