Recursion vs. Iteration
Discover the differences between recursion and iteration by exploring their definitions, applications, and termination conditions. Learn about the advantages and drawbacks of each approach, including code size, execution speed, and memory usage, to understand how to apply them effectively in solving programming problems.

Is there a difference?
Both recursion and iteration are used for executing instructions repeatedly until a condition is true. So, where does the difference actually lie between Iteration and Recursion? In this lesson, let’s discuss a few factors that differentiate the two methods.
