This is not correct.
A recursive case is the case in which the method actually calls itself.

i.e. Where the method knows the answer without recursing.

I wouldn't say "error". It's a situation where the method results in an excessive use of memory that is usually caused by an infinite loop of sorts with many many calls to the recursive method.

You should always put things that return a String in double quotes. For this answer, the answer should be "" (empty String) but saying "blank" is confusing.

Minor, but notable: there should be a leading space on each of these " moon goodnight", " Academy Developers Ada", " there! Hi,"
