Recursion and recursive functions / Intro to JavaScript ES6 programming, lesson 7

What is recursion and how to wrap your head around it? Learn about this powerful and very important concept in few minutes.

came here from a codecamp answer and I have to say, this explanation is so easy to comprehend! thank you!

That multiple boxes scenario helped me a lot to understand recursion. Thanks man!

I see you've put quite an effort into making this video. Seems like a small thing, simply an attempt to convey the idea of recursive functions in the ocean of JavaScript full of lots of other fish. Mind you, this has helped me to better understand the topic. I may not have grasped it yet, but I feel like the neuron connections are slowly building in my brain! So cheers mate. Thanks for your work! Much appreciated

I finally fully understood the core of recursion. Thank you.

When I search for Recursion in javascript so many other videos came first. This is a video which needs scrolling down. But somehow I saw its poster with boxes explanation. Started watching. It's very easy to understand. and found very useful to me. Now I understand what is recursion. Thank You Sir.

I think my brain just exploded like that atoms of the universe guy. I'm a beginner programmer trying to learn recursion on freecodecamp and I came across your video. Thank you for explaining it in terms I can understand.

Hi! This was a wonderful video and you have great idea about recursion! I was wondering if you could make these kind of videos about data structures. I have a feeling your channel will blow up with more time and exposure.

Terrific video on recursion. The content and the production are perfect. Thank you!

[persenbp]

the best explanation i've seen on this subject !
Thanks

[gassanali]

This is the best lesson that I've seen about recursion. You've not just explained it but have literally shown how it works. I enjoy your videos...

FINALLY!! Thank you for this clear and illustrative video- I finally understand how recursion works - after video after video, article after article and no aha moment until tonight! Thank you!!

[RickyGarcia_Learning]

That's is great tutorial. Was having issues with Eloquent JavaScript's explanation. This helped a lot.

[luisgiraldo]

This was an excellent explanation of recursion!!! thanks for the video.

[choheejung]

Thank you so much! I was struggled to understand resursion 😩But I found that this video was really helpful! 🙏

[redmaus]

Thanks, the box explanation finally got me to wrap my head around it!

[bhagatsingh]

This is the best explanation on recursion that I've come across so far. I previously kept wondering how the function would evaluate factorial(3-1) and when you said it wouldn't until it reaches the base case, it made so much of sense to me. Thanks a bunch! Liked and subbed.

The first video that makes me understand about Recursion... highly recommend!

This particular video just appeared in my search results on YouTube.
I wasn't following Hexlet for a while and I can say, Rakhim, you've reached a new level. I can't imagine how much effort you've put to make this course so neat.

I've been trying to understand recursion for a week or so now. I got the idea, but could not really put my finger on what's really happening inside the function, despite the fact I have an idea how call stacks work. Your visualization helped me to finally understand it. Thank you!

Excellent video! WOW. Definitely subscribing. Thanks for really breaking this down for us visual learners
