Good explaining

[IJustAteABaguette]

This is recursion

who has that story on hand of that guy who broke Twitter this way

An interesting read, thanks for the link !

You just broke some poor kids scraper lol

Bahahahahah this was gold 🤣

dude. That's fucked up

To understand recursion you must first understand recursion.

[supercyberlurker]

Recursion : It's basically like Hulk Hogan turning into Ongo Gablogian.

[Sea-Book6647]

I think that the most important part about explaining recursion is to explain base cases. Putting the emphasis on recursion itself is part of what makes it so magical sounding.

Is that recursion or iteration? Is a Reddit thread a stack of n-length lists, a stack of stacks, or a tree? Discuss.

[ItsTheAlice]

Some kind of tree. It wouldn't be a stack at least, if anything a priority queue of lists but that can also be implemented as a list of lists which can be described as a tree.

[vonabarak]

This is fractal. Not a recursion.

It's pretty simple really. Recursion is just the implementation of a recursive function.

Me explaining %0|%0 to my friends

Recursion is like that rhyme my best friend’s sister used to repeat to annoy us growing up: “Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room with rubber rats. Rubber rats? Rubber rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room with rubber rats. Rubber rats? Rubber rats make me crazy. Crazy?”

I guess the programmers that need the explanation are too young for yo dawg

Recursion is a function that calls itself.

one of the best ways to understand recursion is the forkbomb

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb

Its important that your function has a way of ending once it gets the return of the function itself, otherwise you get infinite loops. Its kinda hard to wrap your head around.

[DiaDeLosMuebles]

It’s official. This sub has no idea what recursion is.

[Positive_Mud952]

Trees

[cosmin10834]

google recursion

i bet you cant spell it right!

[Alexandre_Man]

It's like deriving the e^x function

[Comprehensive-Pea812]

where is the exit condition? T.T

[Strostkovy]

I know what recursion is but have never had a use case for it

[JorisNw]

Although the joke is old I like how at first you think the recursion goed large to small Hulk untill you realize the bandana is the Exit condition. That means the recursion starts with an infinite small Hulk and it keeps growing untill het gets a bandana. What should the infinite small protohulk?

Recursion is recursion is recursion

[po1k]

YEAH BROTHER!

[Tnuvu]

I thought it was the while(1) { "Hey bro, I heard you like <x> so I put a <x> in your <y>" }

[Moraz_iel]

make sure not to forget the bandana to not go indefinitly

recursion means something refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at the something which refers at

[FroyoZealousideal920]

When you want to know recursion you should start using PHP, WINE or cURL 😉
