More about recursion in C#.


Do the full C# course https://pcworkshopslondon.co.uk/c-sharp-programming-course.html In a recursive method with C#, we need two properties: 1) The base case (or cases) is a terminating scenario.
  • the base case will instruct the recursion to stop
  • , and the method return back to its orginal call.
  • The base case does not use recursion to produce an answer,
  • it is rather simple like an if statement.
2) The second property is "recursive steps".
  • statements that should be executed repetitively,
  • but with every iteration using a value that it either more or less than the previous iteration.
  • Importantly,
    • this value change should reduce the successive cases
    • and work towards achieving the base case.
  • The repetition is effected by the method calling itself, rather than a loop

Did you know? Ouroboros, is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail (stop condition? .... not sure if this ancient symbol quite fits with C#)

The Seven Different Types of Coding Blocks in Java

-
Java   Coding Blocks    In Java , the term "coding block" typically refers to a block of code within certain constructs that define the scope and execution context of variables and statements. There are several types of coding blocks in Java, each serving different purposes. Here’s an overview: 1. Method Block A  Java  method block is the section of code within a method. It defines the scope of local variables and contains the statements that make up the method. public class MyClass { public void myMethod () { // Method block starts here int localVariable = 10 ; System.out.println(localVariable); // Method block ends here } } 2. Class Block A  Java  class block is the section of code within a class definition. It contains the class’s fields (variables), methods, and nested classes. public class MyClass { // Class block starts here int instanceVariable; // Field public void myMet...

  What is a  Java  web application? (During Lesson 7 of our   Java    Bootcamp, we will cover this topic in depth and create such an app )  A  Java  web application (web app) is: ·          an  application program   ·          that is stored on a remote server ·          and delivered over the internet through a browser interface.  Examples of web applications are for instance: ·          webmail, ·          online calculators, ·          and e-commerce platforms. How web applications work: Java  web applications are accessed over a network.  That means, users don't need to download a web application.  Instead, they can conveniently access the  Java...
