Phase 21 · Data Structures & Algorithms
TopicsRecursion
Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
Solving a problem by having a function call itself on a smaller version of the same problem, with a base case that stops the recursion.
How to Learn This
- 1Solve factorial and Fibonacci both recursively and iteratively, and compare.
- 2Practice tracing through a recursive call stack on paper before coding.
- 3Learn to identify the base case and recursive case for any new problem.
