If you’ve ever struggled with solving coding problems using recursion, or if you need to brush up your recursion skills for an interview, this course is for you! We will start with the basics of recursion before we practice solving actual coding problems. You’ll have access to detailed explanations and visualizations for each problem to help you along the way.

By the time you have completed this course, you’ll be able to use all the concepts of recursion to solve complex, real-world problems. We hope that this course will help you ace all the recursion related questions during interviews at top tech companies!

Recursion for Coding Interviews in Python

## Problem Statement
Implement a function that takes a linked list `testVariable` and returns the length of the linked list.

### Input
1. A variable `testVariable` containing the linked list whose length will be calculated.
2. The head node of the linked list `head`.

### Output
Length of the input linked list

### Sample Input
```
testVariable => 3 -> 4 -> 7 -> 11 -> None
head => 3
```
### Sample Output
```
4
```

### Try it Yourself
Try this challenge yourself before examining the solution. Good luck!
