CHAPTER 6 Recursion

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this chapter are to introduce the student to the topic of recursion, to teach the student how to think recursively, and how to formulate and implement recursive solutions. More specifically, students will be able to

Understand the concept of recursion and recursive definitions.

Understand how recursive algorithms produce their result, and understand the execution path of methods that implement them.

Implement a recursive algorithm, and understand its iterative counterpart.

Think recursively. ...

More than 5,000 organizations count on O’Reilly

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
