  1. Recursive Methods Noter ch.2

  2. Recursive Methods • Recursive problem solution – Problems that are naturally solved by recursion • Examples: – Recursive function: Fibonacci numbers – Recursive graphics: Fractals – Mutual recursion: Expression evaluation – Randomization and recursion: Random plants/trees • General aspects – Termination – Recursion versus iteration: simplicity vs efficiency

  3. Recursion in trees and flowers 3 smaller trees/branches = Tree trunk

  4. Natural Recursion: Derivative of Rational Function � � ����� � ��� �→�

  5. QUIZ Factorial function: n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * (n-1) * n Recursive definition What is the proper recursive definition of the factorial function? (Assume n ≥ 1) 1. n! = n * (n-1)! (n-1)! For n > 1 2. n! = 1 For n = 1 (n-1)! For n > 1 3. n! = n-1 For n = 1 n*(n-1)! For n > 1 4. n! = 1 For n = 1 n*(n-1) For n > 1 5. n! = (n-1)! For n = 1 6. None of the above 7. I don’t know
