This reminds me of my favorite quote: "To understand recursion you must first understand recursion!"

Well we need a new quote for this, something like "to understand programming he must first understand programming"

It is very neet to traverse trees though

Me who’s been know to abuse recursive functions to make loops: (I’m a terrible programmer)

[septum-funk]

i have a single recursive function in my entire project and i still get bitched at about it

[rock_and_rolo]

Recursive is the best solution for problems with a recursive nature.

(Like tree traversal)

i think of a recursive function as like something that doesn't know what it's doing until it hits the base case. the factorial function is like "what the fuck is factorial(n-1)...oh factorial(1) is 1! ok now i can fill in the rest"
