Call stack
A well-known example of recursion in programming is the calculation of the
of a number.
Each time a recursive function calls itself, it is creating a new
of that function on the call stack.
Understanding recursion involves recognizing the relationship between the problem and its
.
Recursion is often used in tasks such as traversing data structures, like
.
A recursive function must have at least one
to prevent it from calling itself indefinitely.
Which of the following recursion types is known as tail recursion?
Unwinding
What is recursion?
Stack
In a recursive function, parameters are usually passed along with the function's calls, which can include a
to track progress.
Which of the following is a base case in recursion?
Recursive Case
The process of breaking a problem down into smaller subproblems that resemble the original problem is known as
.
Base Case
Stack overflow
Return Address
Recursive algorithms can sometimes be less efficient than their iterative counterparts due to
associated with function calls.
In which problem is recursion commonly used?
Backtracking
