When to Use Recursion?
Understand how to determine when recursion is the suitable method for coding problems, especially those that can be divided into smaller similar tasks or involve an unknown number of nested loops. Learn to identify situations where recursion simplifies solutions compared to iterative methods.
Nowadays, programming languages, including Haskell, Scala, and JavaScript, use Functional Programming which relies on recursion. Entire coding languages are now based on recursion.
An important note: recursion is not always the best method for solving a problem, even if it is possible to do ...
