Once I encountered this curious recursion:'
Here sounds infinite loop maybe, but it should finishing calling each other (a calling b that calls a that calls b again...infinite...)
But when there is a Top maximum Parent that is the top of the parent child pyramid (like a html Body "div", I mean, the one that contains all others") It should stop...well
def a
self.insert //something to make it child of the parent, like a html structure maybe
b //call the second method, the b method below
end
def b
self.insert //same here, same logic//
a //call the first method, the a method above
end
thisHtmlDiv.a //crazy example
So the subject on which you call the method will be added in all the hierarchy chain of the parent child pyramid.
- jeromebaek 8y agoThis is called mutual recursion. Interpretors rely on it heavily.
