Question
Chapter 13, Problem 4RE
Program Plan Intro
Recursion:
- Java-recursion is a
mechanism in which a method continuously calls itself. - In java, a method which calls itself is called recursive method.
- Using this mechanism, some problems can be solved easily.
- For example, problems like, Tower of Hanoi(TOH), Inorder/Preorder/Postorder Tree Travels, DFS of Graph are solved using recursion.
- Syntax of recursive methods,
//define recursive method
returntype methodname()
{
//code to be executed
//calling same method
methodname();
}
- In the above code, a method “methodname()” is a recursive method because, in the definition, this method calls by itself.
