Also, would it be a bit better to set N to 99, or is it done this way in case the user somehow wants to start with a different number of bottles?

@200_success: I too am interested to know if inline really is necessary here. All I've heard is that it can be useful with templates, but is otherwise unnecessary.

@user3791372: I can't imagine how this could scare anybody. It's literally the simplest possible program to do the job--it has a cyclomatic complexity of 1 (not a single if statement or other flow control statement in it).

My clang++ compiler ignores inline. It generates runtime recursive function calls. There is just one copy of the generic 99-to-3 verse in the binary code.
