Recursion Crash Course: Learn Recursion in 15 minutes with JavaScript

[@alexander5052]

This video should have a million likes! Super useful examples! Thank you

[@mildmanneredthinkingman9323]

I just wanted to say, TY! The last examples with trees is mighty helpful. I know this is something I'm hearing is coming up in my code school. And this is great you took the time to lay it out. And the grouping trick, WOW. Thank you so much!

Leigh I love your algorithm videos like binary search Please make more, your tutorials are easy to understand, thanks

[@leighhalliday]

The funny thing is that I've never written a binary search for real in my 17 years programming lol

[@chikatikah3838]

That’s a neat way to do the Fibonacci sequence!

[@leighhalliday]

Hehe, I didn't invent it unfortunately :D

[@igor_cojocaru]

Cool, cool, cool! More stuff like that! Algorithms and data structures

[@leighhalliday]

Thanks Igor!! I'll try to do more algos and data structures... I just gotta learn them first lol

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@jaany]

Great video, Leigh! What would the performance and other impacts be with this type of recursion vs using the typical loops or reducer?

[@leighhalliday]

Hey Jan! I'd always pick simple iteration over recursion whenever possible... more for readability than anything else. Performance? No idea :D

[@GustavoDiaz93]

I think it would be O(n) time and space in some cases, it can be improved in terms of memory/space using tail recursion.

Cool, Leigh!😁

Thanks Jorgen!

It is like you know what I am weak at.

[@leighhalliday]

Haha aren’t we all :) I make these videos for myself!

[@erikshumkov4848]

Sweet :)

[@leighhalliday]

Haha I see what you did here :)

[@MaksymMinenko]

@@leighhalliday Yeah, KZbin failed me here. They need to improve the comments in this regard. 😀

[@ridl27]

ez

[@leighhalliday]

Hehe... maybe you're just smarter than the rest of us :D

You should have avoided using JS-specific methods, but instead, use those which are easily transferable to other languages.
