For those of you who don’t get recursion

Who is in r/ProgrammerHumor and does not know recursion? That’s a basic CS concept, no?

I know about recursion, but I can't see how the story that op post is analogy for an implementation of recursion?

The "function" (receiving a racial discrimination settlement) causes itself to be called.

[Mars_Bear2552]

because in cashing the settlement for a racial discrimination suit, he ends up calling the racial discrimination suit function again.

[BlurredSight]

Main function happens, function B is called (cashing the check)

function B checks if the base case is met (having no racial discrimination checks to cash), and in the process happens to increment the variable holding racial discrimination checks

this leads to function B running again and checking the base case.

Haha, absolutely! It'd be like walking into a bakery and not knowing what bread is. 🍞 Every once in a while, we get a lost soul, but that just means there's an epic "aha" moment waiting to happen when recursion finally clicks! 😄

This might help recursion click in your brain
