I thought that this was a good demonstration of how recursion works.

This one was also good.

I like it!

To understand recursion, you must understand recursion.

Recursion = To cast the same curse twice.

I did this on another forum a while back, only I called the link "How to keep an idiot busy for a half an hour", like those cards people made when I was a kid.

No. To understand recursion, one must see recursion for themselves. How could one must understand to understand what's not seen.

lol nice

tomd123 · 2010-01-29 02:01:10

some ocaml for your recursion needs

let rec sum lst =
  match lst with
    [] -> 0
    | a::xs -> a + sum xs;;

I just realised, the view counts on this thread are going to increase rapidly with all the view recursion. Great scheme Xyne!

There is also an entry in the fortune package that goes something like:
Q: How do you keep an idiot busy for an hour?
