The Recursive Book of Recursion
Ace the Coding Interview with Python and Javascript Recursion, and recursive algorithms, have a reputation for being intimidating. They're seen as an advanced computer science topic often brought up in coding interviews.
Moreover, coders often perceive the use of a recursive algorithm as a sophisticated solution that only true programmers can produce. It is project-based, containing complete, runnable programs in both Python and JavaScript, and covers several common recursive algorithms for tasks like calculating factorials, producing numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, tree traversal, maze solving, binary search, quicksort and merge sort, Karatsuba multiplication, permutations and combinations, and solving the eight queens problem.
