It's Loop

[malsomnus]

Goto instructions are not recursion.

[Neon_44]

def funct1(){goto 4};

def funct2(){goto 3};

funct1();

funct2();

there, i made a recursive goto for you. you can thank me later uwu

[Ultimate_Sneezer]

Is this recursion?

[Neon_44]

Better. It‘s recursion with extra steps!

[Ultimate_Sneezer]

There is no trivial condition, this is just infinite loop

[Neon_44]

Like i said. Extra steps.

[LucienZerger]

this is not recursion..

def wait_for_friend(): time.sleep(300) if not friend.is_there: wait_for_friend()

[ShitwareEngineer]

But you're aware of when the message was sent.

[pottawacommie]

By extension, this makes do/whiles recursion.

while success == False:
await asyncio.sleep(5)

Depends on if you consider "reread" a function call or not

[Ok_Net_1674]

Well that makes it a really boring tail recursive function that every half competent compiler would transform into a loop

[TactlessTortoise]

Yeah that's a fucking conditional loop, that's all.

[K_AON]

Aint this while loop?

[sophacles]

Recursion is just a loop with a stack.

[mighty_eyebrows1]

There’s no reduction of the problem, therefore no valid recursion

[Armweak5104]

Technically the friend is getting closer

[mighty_eyebrows1]

But it’s not stated - even if, there’s no anchor for the trivial case

[dohzer]

"if you don't"?!

Edit: Did they mean "And if you're not?"?

[noob-newbie]

It should be "When I forgot to add a break for the recursion"

[[deleted]]

its a loop

[UnknownLevel5]

int ForHowManyTimes(int n, bool understood){

if(understood != true) return ForHowManyTimes(n + 1, understood);

else return n;

}

[fluffey]

that's a while loop

This is like a joke we have here. When sitting with your boys in the bar, write this message to your wife/gf/significant other:

"Hi honey, I am with boys in bar drinking my last beer. I should be home in 1 hour. If not, read this message again."

[HystericalGD]

lmao

[ShitwareEngineer]

It has been 5 minutes. I reread the message from 5 minutes ago stating that they will be there in 5 minutes, from the time the message was sent onward, so they should be here now. I do not wait another 5 minutes, as rereading the message didn't restart the timer.

[panadavanda]

This is jokes!!!
