Learn RECURSION in 5 minutes! 😵

#python #tutorial #course
recursion = a function that calls itself from within
helps to visualize a complex problem into basic steps
problems can be solved more easily iteratively or recursively
iterative = faster, complex
recursive = slower, simpler
---- EXAMPLE 1 ----
ITERATIVE
def walk(steps):
for step in range(1, steps+1):
print(f"You take step #{step}")
RECURSIVE
def walk(steps):
if steps == 0:
return
walk(steps - 1)
print(f"You take step #{steps}")
walk(100)
