This is a Better Way to Understand Recursion

[@cruzchaps3662]

Bro gave us the inception example and i thought he was going to explain it differently, then boom fibo is back

[@ladro_magro5737]

bro said ‘this is a better way to understand recursion’ and proceed not to explain anything useful

[@larsybarz]

The recursive joke here is that this is just like any other explanation of recursion

[@AbuAl7sn1]

he explains everything like a magic

Wow, stumbled upon this video and floored by the quality of the explanation and inception analogy. Thank you so much!

[@alexhyettdev]

Thank you! I am glad you liked it.

[@arpitkumar4525]

You just told the surface level information/definition. I was hoping you would help develop an intuition for recursion

[@weekendsonlyy3947]

Great explanation and visuals Alex 🔥

[@alexhyettdev]

Thank you!

[@etharhussein]

I love the inception example you used! Made a lot of sense when you used that analogy. People should start using analogies more to explain things lol.

[@constiskey-fb7sl]

That is fascinating that for the fibonachi series, recursion is less efficient, while quick sort is amazing.

[@tree3946]

Sir you explained it so nicely, and that analogy was really helpful 👍👍

[@kyomdonalddogo5775]

I dont understand recursion, esp how many times to call it or what operator to use it with. I honestly thank God for loops

[@WiggyPineda-eg3gb]

thank you so much! I loved the analogy, it really helped and now I must go watch inception again. Ive had a hard time wrapping my head aroound python, I mean I ace my classes so that must mean I understand it right? it just feels like Im not getting it.

[@Michael-Mosca]

recursion is SO GODLY POWERFUL in the right cases

[@ohmegatech666]

I think it's less intuitive to write the fibonacci function using a single base case of n

[@blazingguyop]

The best video on recursion What an example 🙏 Was stuck at why it return back (kick) later understood just thinking logically 😂 Now everything clear 😅👌 Btw now I get it why people call some youtubers underrated😢

[@kevint3522]

Very good quality video. It's too high level for my needs though. I need to understand what's happening on the stack and with the stack frames. Do you do anything with combinatorics? Like how to use recursion to find unique combinations of k integers from a list of n integers? I ChatGBT'd it and walked through the solution. The solution wraps a recursive call into a for loop. I can almost trace it, but it is very difficult to understand. I get the impression this is a well-known problem, but I had no prayer of solving it myself because I don't know how to think through it.

[@deadvirgin428]

If you want a proper answer, the first step is to stay away from webdev channels.

[@Nicholas.pl_]

same bro

[@linux_college]

thanks very much simple to understand can you explain to us what is BacktrackingFile please

[@kyles115]

Why did the programmer get stuck in a recursive loop? Because he wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole went, but he forgot to include a base case in his recursive function. So he just kept calling the function over and over again, each time passing in the same parameters, until his stack overflowed and his program crashed. But don't worry, he learned his lesson. From then on, he always made sure to include a base case in his recursive functions, and he never got stuck in an infinite loop again... at least, not until he started playing with pointers and accidentally created a memory leak. Ah, programming. The gift that keeps on giving, even when you wish it would just stop already.

[@alexhyettdev]

Loved this! There is always something to trip us up. My favourite one is debugging race conditions. They are impossible to replicate if you are stepping through code.

[@ghostwarrior7356]

Nice analogy.

[@i_heart_emm]

thanks for the explanation 🙂

[@freelance-writer]

"Let me explain recursion by relating it to a notoriously convoluted movie." 😂

[@selbymdaka1260]

Can't believed I watched 10 minutes plus of videos trying to understand this only to get it on a 4 minutes 3 seconds video😂.

[@digitalgoldmine-007]

tomorrow i have an exam n the question will be like they will give me last part of the recursive r any code n want me to write the recursive form of it yet i couldnt get my answer that how to know to write that. if u or anybody know the proceture i will be grateful if u guys tell me.

[@lauris5275]

Im learning for some time coding, but recoursion is one of those things that Im very bad at. If you dont need to nest it in the loop its not that hard. But one you need to use it in like 2-3 loops it gets hard.

[@brookegerry5058]

"Don't worry, I won't spoil the movie Inception for you" Proceeds to spoil it for me💔

[@alexhyettdev]

It doesn’t spoil anything beyond what you learn in the first 10 minutes of the film. I watched it again last night. Great film even though it is 13 years old already!

[@thepatzer]

Nice work! Adding memoization would mitigate some of the inefficiencies you mentioned.

[@josephalbert.]

did you mean recursion? (this was really funny haha)

[@aendriu514]

char* understandRecursion(){ int understood = 0; If(understood) return "finally"; else return understandRecursion; }

Notice that understood never becomes 1

I know you want to be fast for youtube because it's cool and edgy, but if you want people to learn from your videos, pause when you show code or equations and leave them onscreen for a few seconds so people can see what you are talking about - the human brain doesn't do well trying to read and listen at the same time.

[@alexhyettdev]

I have tried slowing it down a bit in newer videos. It's not really about being cool and edgy (I am too old for that), I just speak faster when nervous. I am still not that comfortable talking to a camera!

Why watch a video on recursion if you already understand it?

With a comment that dumb; it's safe to assume you're not going to understand recursion no matter how it is taught.

Fuxk this recursion i leave programming because for this recursion. Now im doing mba 😅

To be fair there are only a handful of times that I have put recursion to good use. You could always go back to programming once you have your MBA and start SaaS company!
