First Term Test Down, A Million Still Left To Go

Hi everybody! How are you? Lots of updates this week! So last Tuesday, we had our first ever CSC148 midterm! It was pretty fair to be honest, but I am keeping my fingers crossed, of course! However, more interestingly, we started tracing recursion last week! I believe that this has been the most interesting concept so far.

To define recursion in the most simplest words possible, it is the process of solving a large problem by calling on smaller versions of itself. In other words, if we have a large expression that we have to solve, we can solve it by expressing it in terms of itself and smaller versions of itself. Last week, we did not learn to write any recursion methods but, only to trace them out! It was really interesting to see how a seemingly difficult task can be broken down into smaller parts and how the solutions to these smaller parts can be extended towards solving the larger task.

Thank you for checking in! Please check out the linked blog for a great summary of recursion! Hope you have a great week!http://zhexinlai.blogspot.ca/
