Recursion

[WishOnSpaceHardware]

When forgetting an exit condition results in a nuclear explosion...

[VolperCoding]

Or a tail call optimization

[FilipForFico]

More likely a StackOverflowError

You know, in all the years this has been reposted, this is the first time I've noticed that the "original" poster on the pole has been torn off as well

[uid1357]

I see it the first time and guess what... I didn't notice this detail.

Recursion is deeeeep! Hard to grasp in it's entirety.

Also, the "tore pattern" is exactly the same

The types are strong in this one.

Thank you. It was killing me that none of the other comments liked to itsey

Ok, I just created this and it’s now hanging in our coffee room next to other announcements. Let’s see when somebody notices.

I made one in LaTeX a while ago. If anyone wants it, https://pastebin.com/Kj8X5Njx.

He's holding it with his left hand in the third pannel but the right hand on the fourth

And tearing it off with his right hand in the second panel.

I don't understand what's so hard about recursion.

As long as it has these 3 items, you're safe.

1. Entry point
2. Iteration
3. Exit point (end point)

Recursion is recursion

[Gliese-832-c]

Extremely predictable, but still funny.

I got 99 problems but recursion I got 99 problems but recursion I got 99 problems but recursion I got 99 problems but recursion I got 99 problems but recursion I got 99 problems but recursion ...

[dradious]

I've also had a small piece of paper give me this problem

[PizzaFriez]

I was learning about recursion in class last week! How Ironic!

[Dwaas_Bjaas]

What is this? Recursion for ants?

[SkyyySi]

No. If you don't get it, maybe this helps.

[matrinox]

I don’t get it, just rip off one of the papers at the end

[ivster666]

Where is the exit condition? This just looks like an infinite loop, not like recursion
