D4 D4.1 -problem solving Recursion – specific approach to problem solving in computer science - The solu;on to a problem depends on solu;ons to smaller instances of the same problem In programming, recursion happens when a procedure calls itself un;l some termina;ng condi;on is met This is accomplished without any specific repe;;on construct, such as a while or a for loop Recursion breaks the problem at hand into smaller subtasks - Most algorithms that may be presented recursively may also be presented in an itera;ve manner and vice versa !
