Reading Material & Notes

Recursion and Modular Programming

Recursion occurs when a function calls itself to solve a smaller version of the same problem.

Factorial Example

int factorial(int n)
{
    if(n <= 1)
        return 1;

    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

Modular programming divides a large application into independent functions or modules. This improves readability, maintenance and reuse.
