Nov 27, 2013 · So Fibonacci is not a good example of recursion application, while Hanoi is a good one. So most of the good examples of recursion are tree traversal in different disquises. For example: graph traversal - the requirement that visited node will never be visited again effectively makes graph a tree (a tree is a connected graph without simple cycles)

Feb 14, 2011 · I am trying to write a recursive function that will return information in an array, however when I put a return statement into the function it misses certain entries. I am trying to recursively look through a specified depth of folders getting the acl's associated with the folder.

Sep 20, 2008 · People often sort stacks of documents using a recursive method. For example, imagine you are sorting 100 documents with names on them. First place documents into piles by the first letter, then sort each pile. Looking up words in the dictionary is often performed by a binary-search-like technique, which is recursive.

A classic approach, known from other programming languages, in which a function calls itself: create or replace function recursive_function (ct int, pr int) returns table (counter int, product int) language plpgsql as $$ begin return query select ct, pr; if ct < 10 then return query select * from recursive_function(ct+ 1, pr * (ct+ 1)); end if; end $$; select * from recursive_function (1, 1);

A recursive function is a function that contains a call to itself. A recursive struct is a struct that contains an instance of itself. You can combine the two as a recursive class. The key part of a recursive item is that it contains an instance/call of itself. Consider two mirrors facing each other. We've seen the neat infinity effect they make.

Feb 3, 2015 · I'm wondering whether you meant "recursive". Here is a simple example of a recursive function to compute the factorial function: def factorial(n): if n == 0: return 1 else: return n * factorial(n - 1) The two key elements of a recursive algorithm are: …

May 28, 2014 · You dont need a recursive function to build this, you can use a Recursive CTE for that.. Something like. DECLARE @TABLE TABLE( cat_id INT, Cat_Name VARCHAR(50), Main_Cat_Id INT ) INSERT INTO @TABLE SELECT 1,'veg',null INSERT INTO @TABLE SELECT 2,'main course',1 INSERT INTO @TABLE SELECT 3,'starter',1 INSERT INTO …

Sep 5, 2014 · As the idea of stack goes, the memory-space of the caller function now becomes active. For recursive calls, the same function gets multiple memory-space stacked one upon another. That's all. The simple idea of how stack works in memory of a computer should get you through the idea of how recursion happens in implementation.

Nov 20, 2012 · For the fourth function since every node will have two child nodes, the number of leaf nodes will be equal to (2^n) and length of the recursive tree will be n so complexity will be (2^n) * n. But since n is insignificant in front of (2^n) , it can be ignored and complexity can be only said to be (2^n) .

Mar 18, 2015 · Depends what you mean by "required". A recursive algorithm can always be rewritten as a loop and a loop can always be rewritten as a recursive algorithm (assuming that the language you're working with supports both loops and function calls). Some algorithms tend to be easier to implement via recursion others tend to be easier to implement via ...
