Introduction
The programming technique of recursion can produce elegant code solutions. More often, however, it produces confused programmers. This doesn’t mean programmers can (or should) ignore recursion. Despite its reputation for being challenging, recursion is an important computer science topic and can yield keen insights into programming itself. At the very least, knowing recursion can help you nail a coding job interview.
If you’re a student with an interest in computer science, recursion is a necessary hurdle you’ll have to overcome to understand many popular algorithms. If you’re a programming bootcamp graduate or self-taught programmer ...
