Recursive function for sorting array

Hi all, i have this mini program that generates randomly 15 to 25 sized array.
This array then randomly generate lower and upper case letters.
So far i have gotten iterative swap to move all lower case to left side and all upper case to right side. Im' required to do it recursively too. but am having a hard time figuring out the base case and general case. here is the code i have for the parts i got working.
