What is the depth of recursion?
What is the depth of recursion?
- The number of times a function returns a value
- The number of if-else statements in a recursive function
- The number of recursive cases in a problem
- The number of times a function calls itself (correct)
What does the base case refer to in a recursive function?
What does the base case refer to in a recursive function?
- The initial input to the recursive function
- The maximum number of recursive calls allowed
- The condition when the function should call itself
- The condition when the problem can be solved without recursion (correct)
Why are recursive algorithms usually less efficient than iterative ones?
Why are recursive algorithms usually less efficient than iterative ones?
- Because they cannot handle repetitive problems
- Because they do not involve base cases
- Due to overhead of each function call (correct)
- Because they have fewer if-else statements

Study Notes
Procedural Programming
- Procedural programming involves writing programs made up of functions that perform specific tasks
- Procedures operate on data items that are separate from the procedures themselves
- Data items are commonly passed from one procedure to another
- The focus of procedural programming is to create procedures that operate on the program's data
Object-Oriented Programming
- Object-oriented programming is focused on creating objects
- An object is an entity that contains data (known as data attributes) and procedures (known as methods)
- Methods perform operations on the data attributes
- Encapsulation is a key concept in object-oriented programming, where data and code are combined into a single object
