Understanding Recursion: The five-cent tour of Advanced Programming
- chrisbolt 16y agoRecursion is advanced?
- jfb 16y agoRecursion is best taught in C?
- ordinaryman 16y agoSadly so, even for some CS graduates (at least here in India). Personally though, recursion helps me in recruitment process as this is a quick test to filter candidates.
- bmcleod 16y agoI was shocked when I took CS papers at the number of people who just could not grasp recursion. My first job out of Uni I pretty much got the interview because the sample code I sent in had recursion in it. I occasionally think I should recommend lisp to people who don't get it, but I'm not sure it wouldn't just break them.
