Recursion tracing

Recursion tracing

This week in class we have been working on tracing recursive functions to understand how they work and improve our ability to read code. Diagnosing what a recursive function does can be incredibly difficult at times, even when the task that the code completes is not such a difficult to explain concept. There are many different uses of recursive functions that stretch from things that are possible without recursion to tasks that would be incredibly complex without the use of this simple tool. Overall I look forward to doing more work with recursion and actually creating some functions myself.
