Recursion
When should you choose to use recursion over iteration?
When the problem has a large input size
When the problem requires complex data structures
When the problem can be solved using a loop construct
When the problem can be divided into smaller subproblems
Recursion can be used to solve problems that exhibit which of the following characteristics?
Simplicity and linearity
Efficiency and optimization
Randomness and unpredictability
Repetition and redundancy
In recursion, what is the purpose of passing arguments to the recursive call?
To improve the efficiency of the recursive algorithm
To modify the original input for each recursive step
To ensure that the base case is reached
To keep track of the recursive stack size
What is the first thing you should write in a recursive method?
The base case
The recursive call
The return value
A loop
What is the purpose of a recursive call in a recursive method?
To store the base case of the recursive method
To invoke the method with different parameters
To store the intermediate results of the recursive calls
To execute the recursive method in a specific order
What is the difference between a recursive call and a regular method call?
Recursive calls are more efficient than regular method calls
Recursive calls can only be used for mathematical operations
Recursive calls involve a method calling itself
Recursive calls use a different syntax than regular method calls
What would happen if a recursive method's base case is never reached?
The function throws an error message
The function will stop when it reaches the end
The function returns immediately without executing any code
The function runs indefinitely
