    came here from a codecamp answer and I have to say, this explanation is so easy to comprehend! thank you!

    That multiple boxes scenario helped me a lot to understand recursion. Thanks man!

    I see you've put quite an effort into making this video. Seems like a small thing , simply an attempt to convey the idea of recursive functions in the ocean of JavaScript full of lots of other fish. Mind you, this has helped me to better understand the topic. I may not have grasped it yet, but I feel like the neuron connections are slowly building in my brain! So cheers mate. Thanks for your work! Much appreciated

    I think my brain just exploded like that atoms of the universe guy. I'm a beginner programmer trying to learn recursion on freecodecamp and I came across your video. Thank you for explaining it in terms I can understand.

    When I search for Recursion in javascript so many other videos came first. This is a video which needs scrolling down. But somehow I saw its poster with boxes explanation. Started watching. It's very easy to understand. and found very useful to me. Now I understand what is recursion. Thank You Sir. Nice......

    " a Function is not a BOX. it is a description of the BOX". brilliant

    This is the best lesson that I've seen about recursion. You've not just explained it but have literally shown how it works. I enjoy your videos...

    Hi! This was a wonderful video and you have great idea about recursion! I was wondering if you could make these kind of videos about data structures. I have a feeling your channel will blow up with more time and exposure.

    • @Codexpanse

      I'm planning to cover basic topics, including data structures. Hope you're right ;-)

    @bhagatsingh5695 Před 2 lety

    This is the best explanation on recursion that I've come across so far. I previously kept wondering how the function would evaluate factorial(3-1) and when you said it wouldn't until it reaches the base case, it made so much of sense to me. Thanks a bunch! Liked and subbed.

  • @baluditor
    @baluditor Před 3 lety

    I've been trying to understand recursion for a week or so now. I got the idea, but could not really put my finger on what's really happening inside the function, despite the fact I have an idea how call stacks work. Your visualization helped me to finally understand it. Thank you!

  • @patrickbateman455
    @patrickbateman455 Před 6 lety

    Nice lesson, but in your example you are calling surfaceAreaCalculator() before it was declared, it's going to be reference error. Because it's a function expression not a function declaration, and it can't be accessed before it was declared. Same with the var, now its going to be type error because value of surfaceAreaCalculator will be undefined. I know it's not the topic of the video, but in case someone trying to copy and run this example of code.
