To understand recursion you must first understand recursion. This video will help you do just that! Learn how recursion works with flowcharts and code. The code is in Python but the concepts apply to any programming language. Recursive functions have a base case and recursive case. Watch out for infinite loops! This video is part of a course called 'Algorithms in Motion' from Manning Publications. You can get it here: https://www.manning.com/livevideo/algorithms-in-motion?a_aid=algmotion&a_bid=9022d293

Recursion is what amateurs do before they discover that stacks are neither deep nor overflow safe. Then their first recursive ten-liner bombs and they become better programmers who will avoid recursion in the future because they will have learned that most machines and compilers are not really suitable for it.

What are your thoughts on recursion and its implementation being a basic concept for aspiring (not jr. at this point) devs? A few people I know have had interview questions at bootcamps wanting them to recursively search for something, etc.

the fact this was linked to a Javascript course and the code was in Python the whole time confused the crap out of me for like a whole day.... can't believe it took me this long to realize it....

FINALLY, I cant tell you how difficult it was for me to grasp this concept. People just stating factorial n was driving me nuts.

im not even using this language but you explained it so well that i could input it into the language of code that im using

This is the same example from the -
Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People- book

Even after getting to the next task on the website, I still don't know what this even is or how it works. I feel like an idiot.

You guys explain things so easily, even a C grade holder CS student will end up improving if taught such way in the univ.
