RE: [Dev-C++] recursion

[Matthew N. <co...@be...>]

Some problems can only easily be solved with recursion.  I use it about
2-3 times per year.

 

In fact, the last two times I used recursion was when working with
hierarchies.  One time was reading in and processing files in a series
of folders and subfolders, the second time was taking information from a
database (for a shopping cart) and displaying it in a
category/subcategory view.

 

It's important to understand how it works because when you need it,
you'll save a lot of time.

Hello all,

Simple one: how often, critical, and necessary is the usage of C++
recursion in the "real world" programming field?

 

Thanks
