one of the few examples of a video loop that makes sense

“Recursion” is actually an acronym, and the “R” stands for “Recursion”.

To fully understand recursion you need to fully understand recursion.

Reminded me of those nostalgic days of class 8.

[dracokinerek]

factorial = lambda x: 1 if x<=1 else x*factorial(x-1)

I used to keep getting the RecursionError, this made me realize recursion looks way simpler but iteration is just a way more efficient way of working

[jaromirgaines]

Ahhhh thank you bro this makes much more sense

[kirbykilledgod]

cool trip to simplify the code you can do this :
return 1 if n=1 else n*factorial(n-1)

I didn't have loop on my PC so when it cut off I was really confused.

Bro, I watched probably 10 videos about decision and after 1 short I understand it

[GaiterBoy]

N even if we right n * (n-1) it workd the same way
But n * n- 1

[Samat]

Речь идёт о рекурсии. Когда функция вызывает сама себя много раз до тех пор пока х не станет равным 1

[tvzone]

If n == 1: return 1
return n * factorial(n-1)

I just started python but I thought there's supposed to be an indentation for a if statement, I didn't know you can write it in the same line

Also, why did you return a value twice. I seriously am confused 😢

[samueljehanno]

I didn't know it was possible to make code on the same line after the ':'

Why does every tutorial Vs Code theme look so good until i applied it in my VsCode!

[ian]

Recursion looks cool but Iteration more efficient

[freddymintarja]

Recursion loop, I see what you're doing

[ronyjui]

Which vscode theme and font you are using

[Svimbo_Life]

I dont get it. Imagine you have 4 as an input. that wil retunr= 4, 12, 24 and 1. But since the last stuff you return is 1, if you print it, wouldnt the answer be 1?

Bro i like coding but I have no idea what he's talking about idk how ill ever learn
