Here you go.

#include <iostream>
void main(void)
{
std::cout << "This was written by call number1" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number2" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number 3" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number 4" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number4" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number3" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number2" << std::endl;
std::cout << "This was written by call number1" << std::endl;

}

Honestly, you will only get help if you first show some effort.

basic recursion. A recursive function is one that calls itself. Generally you define and "exit condition" in which the function does NOT call itself (else you tend to end up with an infinite loop).

so you need to make a function that:

prints a message
if the conditions are right, it calls itself
then it prints another message


its really that simple. Maybe 10 - 15 lines of code in all.
