Study Notes
Recursive Methods
- A successful recursive method requires special cases to address the simplest computations directly.
- Implementing a recursive call is essential to break down complex problems into simpler ones.
- Mutual recursion is not a requirement for a method to be considered recursive.
getArea Method
- The getArea method is an example of a function that determines the area, commonly seen in geometry-related classes.
- The method likely includes conditions to verify dimensions, such as width and height, ensuring it handles various scenarios correctly.
- Proper implementation involves using return statements to provide the calculated area back to the calling context.
