![]() First of all this step is not necessary in every recursive solution. ![]() Combine the solutions of the parts into a solution of the problem. Call the function (recursively) on each sub divided parts.Ģ.3. Provided before removing first and last character we have checked that the first and last characters are equal.Ģ.2. Substring is obtained from original string by removing first and last characters of the string. Problem of checking that any given string is a palindrome or not can be reduced to checking its substring is a Palindrome or not. Problem of calculating nth term of fibonnaci series is done as:-Ģ.1.3. Problem of calculating factorial can be divided into sub problem of same types as:-Ģ.1.2. G() = Some pre/post processing operations need to applied to get f(n1) value from reduced case f(n2).But g() is optional. N2 = Reduced or simpler input passed in next recursive call Where, n1 = Current input to recursive function End result of this exercise usually comes out to a mathematical formula expressed in form of a function: Divide the problem into one or more simpler parts of the main problem. Recursive case designing needs to perform three tasks as given below:-Ģ.1. Think and formulate the recursive case of this problem. IsPalindrome(string) = true ,if Length(string) = 1Ģ. Define what could be the base case(s) of this recursive solution. There are same two steps we have to perform in designing any recursive solution.ġ. Now we are going to understand the gist of the above concept. =(Preprocessing)(Sub problem of same type but for simpler case)(Post Processing) Problem of finding factorial of n can be formulated in recursive way as follows:. We try to divide a problem (main problem) into sub-problems of the same type. In this method of simplification we use ‘Divide and Conquer’ technique. Thinking the solution of the problem in this way is termed as ‘recursive thinking’. The second solution is called ‘Recursion’. Obviously, the second approach is more complex to think as compared to first one. We can approach for solving a factorial problem in at least in two standard ways:. Hence, ‘recursion’ is one of the way of thinking (approaching) a given problem. ![]() ![]() Once, we have a problem we have to find a solution, between that we ‘think’ using our knowledge, mind and experiences. Suppose we have a problem statement of solving a factorial of a given number n. Recursion Concepts Recursion is a way of thinking about and solving a problem. Implementation – A real life examples that helps in writing code from the abstract (conceptual) solution. Conceptual – Helps in coming up with general technique that can be applied in varied situations.Ģ. So, what is recursion?In my view we should understand recursion with two perspectivesġ. At the end of this article you are able to deduce a generic way to approach all kinds of recursion problems. After all, the attempt of this article is to shift ‘Recursion’ from the lateral thinking track to little simpler platform. Remember I said bit! So, beginners should not feel disheartened at all. Lateral thinking is about concepts and ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. If we have it, then its god’s gift, if don’t then we try to achieve it through practice. Introduction Lateral thinking is one of those ‘good’ skills to have by any person.

We also rewrote it as a helper method instead of a Collection macro, since it's more like the collect() helper method than something you do for an existing Collection. We wanted something similar, but for it to leave standard objects alone (because $object->foo is nicer than $object->get('foo') or $object).
