So for that reason, I will start this series by covering Recursion, one of the Big Whales, one of the big concepts to conquer. Yea, I think we all can testify to that, sometimes our solutions have been good and sometimes less so.Īnd if I'm being completely honest I wasn't the most attentive student at University and the more I look into things like Big O notation, algorithms, recursion, compilers and so on, the better it feels when I finally get it and appreciate its elegance. Is it fair to say you've just been solving problems, sometimes in a hacky way? I've been in the IT industry for more than a decade and what you find after using a ton of libraries and languages is that after a while you strive after expanding your mind, solve problems you haven't seen before or even solving the same ol problems but in a new way. Ok, that sound like a textbook answer, are we supposed to buy that? Well, there is more than one reason, knowing the fundamentals is a timeless skill, regardless of what framework, language or library you learn, fundamentals will always be there. Why you ask, why not the latest JS Framework or something similar? I'm writing a fundamentals series on Computer Science topics. Now he really lost it or? Actually, it's an analogy to Recursion, a lot of similar function invocations, almost same same but different 😉 If you read on you will see Recursion explained and a few problems solved even. Follow me on Twitter, happy to take your suggestions on topics or improvements /Chris

You dont know js recursion
