I'm trying to solve the pascal's triangle with tail recursion. I understand to do tail recursion, the function call statement should be the last instruction. Like here: (defn pascal [line colum, acc] (if (or (= line 0) (= line colum) (= colum 0)) ( acc 1) (recur (dec line) colum (pascal (dec line) (dec colum), acc)))) My qu

Can someone give me the difference between these two kinds recursions and example (specifically in OCaml)? Solution A tail recursive function is a function where the only recursive call is the last one in the function. A non-tail recursive function is a function where that is not the case. A backward recursion is a recursion where in each recursi

I have a 2d char array and I'm trying to find a specific character using recursion. public class Test { char arry [][] = {{'1',' ','B'}, {'C','K','M'}, {'H','R','P'} }; public Test(){ recursion(0,0,arry[0][0]); } private void recursion(int row, int col, char c) { if(c==' '){ System.out.print("

I was wondering if there is some general method to convert a "normal" recursion with foo(...) foo(...) as the last call to a tail-recursion. For example (scala): def pascal(c: Int, r: Int): Int = { if (c == 0 || c == r) 1 else pascal(c - 1, r - 1) pascal(c, r - 1) } A general solution for functional languages to convert recursive functi

I know that recursion is sometimes a lot cleaner than looping, and I'm not asking anything about when I should use recursion over iteration, I know there are lots of questions about that already. What I'm asking is, is recursion ever faster than a loop? To me it seems like, you would always be able to refine a loop and get it to perform more quick

Are there examples of recursion using only heap area? Solution In C, function call-based recursion always uses the stack, almost by definition. If you are willing to convert your recursion to iteration, then it is possible to use only heap space, but that isn't really recursion. You would do so by implementing a stack in the heap. Certain probl

As is explained in Removing left recursion , there are two ways to remove the left recursion. Modify the original grammar to remove the left recursion using some procedure Write the grammar originally not to have the left recursion What people normally use for removing (not having) the left recursion with ANTLR? I've used flex/bison for parser,

Why the sys module does not have a function like getrecursiondepth? It is very easy to implement: #include "Python.h" static PyObject * getrecursiondepth(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { PyThreadState *tstate; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, ":recursion_depth")) return NULL; tstate = PyThreadState_GET(); return Py_BuildValue(&quo

I've recently seen in a couple of different places comments along the lines of, "I learned about recursion in school, but have never used it or felt the need for it since then." (Recursion seems to be a popular example of "book learning" amongst a certain group of programmers.) Well, it's true that in imperative languages such as Java and Ruby[1],
