Recursion

About Recursion

WARNING: The instructor is not currently available to answer questions regarding this course Even if the concept of recursion is simple, a lot of people struggle with it (not understanding the recursive process, not being able to figure out the base cases and recursive cases...), this is why I wanted to create a course on recursion that explains it and illustrates it in detail, it also contains

11

solved and explained coding problems to practice. And knowing recursion will also give you a new way of thinking, which is dividing the problem into multiple instances of the same problem, which will help you understanding techniques like dynamic programming, backtracking... See you in the first lecture!

The course covers:

What is recursion

Code and execution

Base cases and recursive cases

Multiple recursive calls process

Call stack

Recursion tree

How to visualize the process

Recursive functions complexity analysis (time and space comp)

Recursion vs Iteration

How to optimize a recursive function (memoization and dynamic programming)

Divide-and-conquer

Backtracking

Recursive data structures

Tail recursion

Double recursion

How to think recursively

Plus 11 solved and explained coding problems to practice:

Sum of digits

Count occurrences

Has adjacent duplicates

Reverse string

Minimum cost path in matrix

All possible phrases

Keypad combinations

String subsequences

Binary numbers with at most 2 zeros

Word search

Array permutations

Why you should take this course:

Detailed explanation of how the recursive process works

Animated examples

Good audio/video quality

Real English captions

Contains coding problems to practice

Ability to ask questions if you don't understand something
