As we start the last quarter of our Moose Year, I cannot help but wonder; are we going to reach our goals? Thus far, we only have two Lodges that have reached their Application Goal. Congratulati...
Recursion in computer programming is exemplified when a function is defined in terms of simpler, often smaller versions of itself. The solution to the problem is then devised by combining the solutions obtained from the simpler versions of the problem.
An important application of recursion in computer science is in defining dynamic data structures such as lists and trees. Recursive data structures can dynamically grow to a theoretically infinite size in response to runtime requirements; in contrast, the size of a static array must be set at compile time.
