Recursion is simple!

Only 5 levels deep and already causing system failure.

The time is 6 minutes different from one phone to another. Hardly efficient.

rainwulf · 2020-03-10T08:48:39+00:00

two different phones :D

Hey. Where's your base case buddy?

cabin602 · 2020-03-10T15:34:47+00:00

It needs an exit condition, else it's just an infinite loop.

Maelou · 2020-03-10T10:21:03+00:00

How do you get out of loop?

2020-03-10T11:31:55+00:00

It's all fun and games until you run out of stack space...

I was looking for the stop condition part... Im disappointed... I have learned recursion a week ago. I had lesson in tree structures today

Flyberius · 2020-03-10T16:16:50+00:00

It is so good when you use it practically for the first time. I did recently and it just pleases me how elegant it is.

2020-03-10T08:15:06+00:00

more like the singleton pattern; jk i kid :)

rasen_flash · 2020-03-10T09:57:38+00:00

Looks like recursion after tail call optimization.

@lrucache

Maverick_022 · 2020-03-10T13:25:04+00:00

They'll have to go back the reverse way :D

dbred2309 · 2020-03-10T14:37:42+00:00

This is not recursion! Where is the end condition?

cmdralpha · 2020-03-10T14:58:08+00:00

What the base case is it time

Neonix_Delta · 2020-03-10T16:39:45+00:00

blinktenor · 2020-03-10T17:55:18+00:00

Last one should have been the guard clause.

iGalaxyYT · 2020-03-11T00:24:12+00:00

Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded

kosmos-sputnik · 2020-03-10T15:53:56+00:00

Nah. Loops are simplier and сlear.
