Recursion Ch 14 Highlights - recursion Recursion No fancy blue words or classes this chapter Recursion is simply calling a method from inside itself This copy will re-run the method on any new arguments or information (See:

  2. Highlights - recursion

  3. Recursion No fancy blue words or classes this chapter Recursion is simply calling a method from inside itself This copy will re-run the method on any new arguments or information (See: badRecursion.cpp)

  5. Recursion If you forget your stopping case, you will not get an infinite loop but crash the program This is because every function call takes up more memory, so you constantly ask for more memory Eventually the memory (stack) cannot store anymore

  6. Recursion basics Good recursion must have 2 parts: - A recursive call on a smaller problem - An ending case (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xMYvVr9fd4) In order to use recursion, you must be able to identify a subproblem that is very similar to the original problem Each step must get you closer to the solution

  7. Recursion basics For recursion, you can basically assume your function works as you want it to (even though you have not written it) If you have the ending case and reduction step correct, then it will!

  8. Recursion: Family tree Person Descendant

  9. Recursion: In words A child couldn't sleep, so her mother told a story about a little frog, who couldn't sleep, so the frog's mother told a story about a little bear, who couldn't sleep, so bear's mother told a story about a little weasel ...who fell asleep. ...and the little bear fell asleep; ...and the little frog fell asleep; ...and the child fell asleep. (See: story.cpp)

  10. Recursion: Basic example Remember, code starts in main and runs from top to bottom in sequence (normally) When you call a function you go execute all the function's code is run before going back to the original code Code order is important in recursion! (See: stringRecursion.cpp)

  11. Recursion What if I wanted to just count down to zero? countdown(5) would show: 5 4 3 2 1 0! (see: countdown.cpp)

  12. Recursion: Fibonacci The Fibonacci numbers are defined as: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) In other words, you add the previous two to get the next This is recursion! Computing F(n) involves solving smaller problems of F(n-1) (See: fibonacciRecursion.cpp)

  13. Recursion: Root finding Find a root of: (see: rootFind.cpp) Method: 1. Find one positive y and 1 neg. y 2. Find midpoint (of x values) 3. update y-pos/neg

  14. Miscellaneous notes Try googling “recursion” and click on the spelling suggestion Recursion is very powerful and used in many advanced algorithms It will give you a headache for a while... =(
