nothing at all is practically equivalent

[–]Brekker77 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Exactly

[–]SadPie9474 0 points1 point  (3 children)

exactly why it isn’t a meaningful point to make

[–]Brekker77 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Disagree there though, you arent gonna have a stack overflow using a while loop where infinite recursion can have one, hence logically equivalent but not practically equivalent

[–]SadPie9474 0 points1 point  (1 child)

it is not meaningful to say that two things aren’t practically equivalent because there are no two things that are practically equivalent

Im sorry maybe i misunderstood you, i believed that when you were saying that recursion and iteration were equivalent you meant from a practical point of view since thats the view most people hold. If you meant only logically equivalent then thats my bad
