Question
Chapter 18.9, Problem 18.9.2CP
Program Plan Intro
Recursive method:
- A method which is called again and again by itself is called as recursive method.
- With the help of recursive method, it is possible to solve certain problems more quickly and easily.
- A recursive method can be converted into no recursive method.
- It takes more stack space. It also takes more time to process.
- Recursion is always logical which is very difficult to understand.
- Recursion reduces unnecessary calling of functions.
- Usually recursion is used to reduce the problem. In some cases, it does not reduce the problem and calls the function endlessly and hence it is called as infinite recursion.
- Base case: The recursion method contains a base case which is used to halt the recursion.
