• Watch Recursion
• Fork this gist
• Answer the following questions in your fork

  • Do you pronounce 'babel' in the same way?

  • Haha! No I don't. And I though that I was the only one that caught that!

    • Follow Up Question: Will you now?
    • I don't think I could get away with pronouncing it like that. Although I would if I could get away with it :)

  • What is an example of why/where you might use recursion

  • You could use recursion when you need to reformat a dataset that would otherwise need multiple nested loops. Like the example he gave in the video, you could use it when you have a specific database query that needed to be formatted in a certain way.
