    I'm still surprised that your advance Javascript class is still the best on CZcams since 2017. I'm really happy for your contribution to the community Sir. I learnt this things when I didn't even have any Laptop to work with, YES!!! I wrote the codes on paper and process how they would run. Then I got it!!!

    This must be the best explanation ever for recursion. Believe me, I've watched a lot of videos to understand this concept.

    This explanation was 100 times easier to understand than the one on FreeCodeCamp where I'm going through their JavaScript curriculum; Your explanation reminds me of the principle of 'induction' in mathematics. Once you explained it like you did, it became so easy to understand; thank you.

  • @Brixsta503
    @Brixsta503 Před 7 lety

    "Recursion is when a function calls itself within it's own body."
    function first () {
    return second();
    }
    This wouldn't be an example of recursion correct? because the function first is calling another function. However, if first function returned first(); then it would be an example of recursion.
    Good videos man. Keep it up

    • @Techsithtube
      @Techsithtube  Před 7 lety

      In order for recursion to happen, the function has to call itself from inside of its own body. Returning itself doesnt or something else is not consider as recursion . you really have to execute it like this
      function first () {
      first();
      }

    @Secretzstolen Před 7 lety

    Hmm I'm still not quite clear on what specifically recursion is, if it's the nested functions or a shortcut so that you don't have to write the nested functions. And how to write recursion. Another video I watched explained this differently =/ Thank you though, appreciate all the info I can get :)

    • @damoon_az2465
      @damoon_az2465 Před 6 lety

      Recursive functions are simply functions that call themselves inside their own body . A simple example is the Fibonacci series . The value for Nth value for Fibonacci series is dependant on n-1 and n-2 value , that is why we would use recursion. A lot of times , when the task is repetitive and dependant on another value that you can get from the exact same function , you would use recursion, another example of algorithms written on recursion principles are recurrent neural networks ( RNNs ) . Mind you that recursive code is most often used to lower the lines of code a programmer writes , since those algorithms usually have less lines of code than the exact algorithm written in non-recursive manner and in larger programs it will help lower human error but on the negative side, they are slower to execute and debugging them might be a tad bit more challenging.

      It depends on the program you're about to do. »»Learning to program«« combines the best of mathematics (formal language, syntax,computations), engineering(design,assemble and looking for alternative codes that are DRY), science(observe behaviors, form hypotheses, and test predictions ex: Error Handling).

    if (string === "") {

    }

    why this is not showing same output as you are showing us.

    It suppoesed to be 5, when you assign the number 3 to the function 'add..' according to your code!!.. But magically how has it showed the output as 6??? Plz, kindly explain this!!.. I'm newbie in JS.

    • @Techsithtube

    • @navaarunbhattacherjee4511
      @navaarunbhattacherjee4511 Před 7 lety

      Thanks sir for your quick response!!.. My question actually is here.. where is this extra 1 coming from???.. Your code was: "return n + add(n -1)"... that means "retun 3 + (3-1)" which is supposed to be 5!!.. But browser shows it 6 somehow!!.. This is where i got stuck & can't move on for further lesssons!!..

    • @Techsithtube
      @Techsithtube  Před 7 lety +1

      I see . here is what is missing . return 3 + (3-1) is actually return 3 + add(3-1)
      means return 3 + add(2) = return 3+ 2 + add(1) = return 3+ 2+ 1 = 6
