Thinking Recursively
- Optional: Naive Recursion is Naive section and beyond
What are the key differences between classes and objects in Python, and how are they used to create and manage instances of a class?
Answer
Explain the concept of recursion and provide an example of how it can be used to solve a problem in Python. What are some best practices to follow when implementing a recursive function?
Recursion can be used to solve problems that repeat code by calling itself within itself. This results in a Big O(2^n), so it’s best to use this approach for small data sets and/or use memoization to cache each value of f(n) through the code as n increases.
