recursive function calling itself even condition is satisfied

i have a very simple code here which uses recursion to iterate the queue class i need to simple print 6 on screen but it print 1 ,please tell me where i am wrong.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    q.Enqueue(1);
    q.Enqueue(2);
    q.Enqueue(3);
    q.Enqueue(4);
    q.Enqueue(5);
    q.Enqueue(6);

    long id = ge开发者_运维百科tID(Convert.ToInt64(q.Dequeue()));

    Response.Write(id);  

}

private long getID(long id)
{
    if (id == 6)
    {
        return id;
    }
    else
    {

        id = Convert.ToInt64(q.Dequeue());

        if (q.Count != 0)
        {
            getID(id);
        }
        else
        {

        }
    }

    return id;
}

}

You are missing a return:

    if (q.Count != 0)
    {
        return getID(id);  // Here
    }

Currently your code calls getID but simply discards the result. Then when control reaches the end of the method it returns id.

Replace

if (q.Count != 0)
{
    getID(id);
}

with

if (q.Count != 0)
{
    return getID(id);
}

You're not doing anything with the return value of the recursive call, so your top-level getID will simply return its parameter when it hits the bottom.

Try return getID(id) in the if test.
