$16.$ Consider the following recursive method.

public static void stars$($int num$)$

$\{$

if $($num $==1)\{$

return; $\}$

stars$($num $-1)$;

for $($int i $=0$; i $<$ num; i$++)$

$\{$

System.out.print$("*")$;

$\}$

System.out.println$()$;

$\}$

What is printed as a result of the method call stars$(5)?$
