There are a number of good explanations of recursion in this thread, this answer is about why you shouldn't use it in most languages.* In the majority of major imperative language …

Nov 20, 2012 · This function is log (n) base 5, for every time we divide by 5 before calling the function so its O(log(n)) (base 5), often called logarithmic and most often Big O notation and …

A regular function can contain a call to itself in its definition, no problem. I can't figure out how to do it with a lambda function though for the simple reason that the lambda function has no n...

I need help writing a recursive function which detects whether a string is a palindrome. But i can't use any loops it must be recursive. Can anyone help show me how this is done . Im using …

May 13, 2015 · Tail Call Recursion Once you understand how the above recursion works, you can try to make it a little bit better. Now, to find the actual result, we are depending on the value of …

Oct 28, 2015 · You have to write a recursive function, but you are not writing a function at all. To write this function in MIPS assembler I suggest you first write it in a higher level language (C).

The recursive function runs much faster than the iterative one. The reason is because in the latter, for each item, a CALL to the function st_push is needed and then another to st_pop. In the …

Aug 29, 2008 · A function is tail recursive if each recursive case consists only of a call to the function itself, possibly with different arguments. Or, tail recursion is recursion with no pending …

How can I combine these two functions into one recursive function to have this result: factorial(6) 1! = 1 2! = 2 3! = 6 4! = 24 5! = 120 6! = 720 This is the current code for my factorial functi...

Seems alright. But notice that this has to shift the entire list every time we pops off the start, it has to move everything one element over. It may be better with just array.pop() which pops off the …
