Recursion in Python: Defining a Recursive Function

In this lesson, you’ll learn that all recursive functions have two parts: the recursive case and the base case. You’ll also see how to define the factorial symbol recursively.

Your explanation towards the end, with the comments, helped clear it up for me. Much easier to understand when it's broken up into parts and explained at each stage. Especially the definition of the 'base case' - Thank you

Once you understand recursion, you'll understand recursion... Great video m8!

I don't know if this is because I have watched several videos about recursion but I would say anyway that this video has been the best explanation about recursion so far. Thanks and God bless.

Sir, u make it so simple to understand recursive. Thank you so much for saving me~

So this is my 4th video on recursion and I better understand now as a loop. My question is what is a real world application?

I liked your explanation a lot man! Thank you for this, my friend first showed me recursion using string reversal. I'm going to check more of your content out

Thank you so much for this video! I loved your explanation :)
I have just one basic question. Why isn't it necessary to write *self.* factorial_recursive while calling the function in itself?

literally gave the answer for my midterm...thank you 😩

I'm new to recursion and is recursion something like this sample code?
def recursion(n):
number = 1
for num in range(1, n+1):
number = num * number
return number
print(recursion(5))

Could you please name the VS Code theme you're using ? 🙂
