Iterative vs Recursive Factorial Functions in Python: Basic Python Computing Concepts Tutorial

Hi everyone! In this Python programming lesson, we explain some of the conceptual differences between iterative and recursive functions in Python, which really apply to any programming language in essence. I used the example of factorial functions since I thought they made for a fairly straightforward lesson, but there are many other applications, too. I also attempted to explain the mindset and intuition behind creating recursive and iterative functions that helps me write new code.

As always, I tried to keep my lesson friendly, exciting, funny, concise, and engaging. I appreciate any feedback that helps me improve more in this direction! I hope you learned something from this video!
