• Watch Recursion
• Fork this gist
• Answer the following questions in your fork
  • Do you pronounce 'babel' in the same way?

    • Follow Up Question: Will you now?
    • If it makes me a better programmer, yes.
  • What is an example of why/where you might use recursion
  • If you're building a binary search tree and want to add functionality where you can remove a node and rebalance the tree, recusion can be very useful. I tried to solve this problems with ~80 lines of code in multilpe loops, and found out later than ~10 lines of a recursive function could do the same thing.
