Recursion in C++
The principles of recursion are the same, regardless of the language used for implementation. This chapter views the topic through the lens of C++. There are a fair number of examples and visualizations. Read through these at a minimum. You might find the exercises useful since the application of a principle is an aid to your understanding. Read Chapter 5 in this book on C++.
9. Complex Recursive Problems
In the previous sections we looked at some problems that are relatively
easy to solve and some graphically interesting problems that can help us
gain a mental model of what is happening in a recursive algorithm. In
this section we will look at some problems that are really difficult to
solve using an iterative programming style but are very elegant and easy
to solve using recursion. We will finish up by looking at a deceptive
problem that at first looks like it has an elegant recursive solution
but in fact does not.
