Summation of a list of numbers using recursion in Python

Build Your Own Redis / DNS / BitTorrent / SQLite - with CodeCrafters.

In this video, I demonstrated how to perform summation of numbers in a list using recursion. By defining the problem statement in a recursive way, we established a recursive function for summing up the elements. I explained the recurrence relation and base conditions, then implemented the recursive function in Python. Testing with various inputs validated the function's correctness. Although recursion adds complexity, it deepens our understanding for tackling more intricate problems in the future. This foundational knowledge will be crucial for handling advanced recursion concepts in upcoming videos.

All others videos use that same old factorial function as an example but you were the first video I found that used a unique problem. Thank you! I like how you started the explanation with iteration as a fundational concept. It helped develop my understanding of recursion and it helped me solve my task. :)
