Print Numbers by Recursion

Problem

Print numbers from 1 to the largest number with N digits by recursion.

Notice: It's pretty easy to do recursion like:

recursion(i) {
    if i > largest number:
        return
    results.add(i)
    recursion(i + 1)
}

however this cost a lot of recursion memory as the recursion depth maybe very large. Can you do it in another way to recursive with at most N depth?

Example

Given N = 1, return [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Given N = 2, return [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...,99].
