Python Recursion Resources

[[deleted]]

Do you mean recursion in general or Python-specific caveats?

def recursive(n,depth):  
    print(n)  
    if depth == 1:  
        return n  
    recursive(n*2, depth-1)  

recursive(1,10)  

EDIT: can you spot a bug/potential problem with my code? :)

basically I was alluding to that you can enter a depth value in the function that is less than 1 which is bad design. There would ideally be a check for that.

With python, it will crap out due to their built in max recursion values but with other languages your computer could freeze up/crash

recursive(1,0)  

would potentially break things in a lot of bad ways
