Knot Theory
Recursive algorithms are problem-solving methods that break down a problem into smaller instances of the same problem, solving each instance in a similar manner until reaching a base case. They are often used in computer science and mathematics to efficiently solve problems like tree traversal, factorial calculation, and the Fibonacci sequence. This technique enables a clear and elegant solution but can also lead to complex behaviors like stack overflow if not managed properly.
congrats on reading the definition of recursive algorithms. now let's actually learn it.
