What is Recursion? | Code and Programming for Beginners 12 of 28 | Study Hall

Although we tend to think of computer programs executing in a tidy path from input to output, a simple trick called recursion lets us twist computer programs into repeating themselves. As weird as it sounds, recursion can actually help keep our code readable, manageable and easier to change down the line!

Reminded me of code I was writing to hunt and search for words in a word search in any direction. Lots of Recursion looping around each letter looking for the next letter and bailing out when the letter didn't match, but if it did match it would keep going, checking the next letter.

I love using recursion in programming to feel smart. Recursion is the semicolon of programming.

Great video! What determines if you use recursion vs a for or while loop?

I love this course and the Finding Nemo reference was amazing. But...I just noticed the hanging keyboard in the background is crooked and now I have to rewatch the video because I got too distracted 😂🙃
