- What is recursion?
The process in which a function calls itself is called recursion. The corresponding function is called a recursive function. A recursive function usually has two parts - the base case (or stopping condition) and the recursive call to itself. The base case is the condition in which the function should stop 'recursing'. The recursive call is a function's call to itself, usually while passing in slightly different arguments that 'work down' towards the base case.

can you go over the freecodecamp recursion lesson (which is lesson 103 in basic javascript)
@@slewbp this explanation has helped me understand those fcc recursion lessons.
Thank you @DevSage
You're not joking, that really was the best recursion explanation. Just went from clueless to fully understanding it and it was really satisfying.
legit.
Your method of teaching is kind of genius.
You gave us a real world case and broke it down in the same way that a computer would understand it. Simultaneously teaching it in a more intuitive way so that a person can as well.
That there is something that 99% of educators fail to do, kudos to you, dude.
The bubble-up is misleading because the computer did not actually do it. the computer simply broke down the function until it reached factorial(1) where it returned 1. It popped off. not the bubble up. factorial(5)stack will be at rock bottom.
Recursion looks so scary to learn, then it gets explained like this and you realize its actually pretty simple, thankyou!
No problem
good explanation.
THE BUBBLE UP moment is the main point of this recursion.
the bubble up was definitely my "ah-hah" moment!
Same here!!!!🙌🙌🙌

@@passableespresso5068 Hi! I think the bubble-up it's okay. The computer is doing something like this:
factorial(4) -> else n = 4
n*factorial(n-1)_i -> else n = 3
n*factorial(n-1)_ii -> else n = 2
n*factorial(n-1)_iii -> return n = 1
n*factorial(n-1)_ii -> n = 2 * n*factorial(n-1)_iii = 1 = 2*1 = 2
n*factorial(n-1)_i -> n = 3 * n*factorial(n-1)_ii = 3 = 3*2 = 6
n*factorial(4) -> n = 4 * n*factorial(n-1)_i = 6 = 4*6 = 24
Hope it helps :)
@@georgethesavant5735 no if you look at it, you stacked the execution contexts until the function returns 1
visually:
stack 4: factorial (1) -
stack 3: factorial (2)
stack 2: factorial(3)
stack 1: factorial (4) ==> at the global execution context
last in first out. again it popped off not bubbled up. don't ask me but Brendan eich lol
You gave me the "ah-hah" moment, thank you!
Glad I could help!
Same vibe here.
Same 😀😆
This should be shown to everyone who is trying to understand recursion. So simple and clear. Thank you!
You're welcome
I have been trying to read the recursion description on free code camp, but I couldn't grasp the concept. Your explanation helped so much. Thank you and please keep making these videos.
No problem
FreeCodeCamp didn't make this any easier.
I came from FreeCodeCamp as well, damn. This video made it so much easier to understand than the one they link to.
Same here 😂
Same with me. I've been losing it ever since I started Loops
The bubble up part is exactly what I need to close the gap on understand recursion fully. Thanks!
No problem 💯
Nice, clear explanation. The part around the 8 minute mark where you type out each recursive call and explain how they bubble up was great. Thanks!
What made it click for me was the fact that the same function is calling itself with slightly different arguments.
Great stuff!
Did this recursion explanation help you reach that "ah-hah!" moment 😉?
Wow. Every explanation I have heard never made sense until this one. That “bubbling up” really made it clear for me. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
After countless videos and blog posts, I finally understand it. That tree structure you showed at 8:43 was what made everything click for me. Thanks
Glad I could help 😁
wow!!!! It's crystal clear now. Who else got the "ah-hah" feeling?
me!
Yup
i did............... ah-hah 😀😀😀😀
This was really good. I was at 0% understanding before the video and now I'd say I'm at like 50-60%. I just didn't really get the bubble up thing at the end.
Same, I'm still pretty lost on the why or how the "bubble up" happens
This is the best explanation of this concept I've found so far
Combed through a lot of recursion tutorials and I've got to say, this is by far the best explanation I have encountered. Thanks a lot for this!
No problem
I only understood it from you, after I scanned all the RUclips on Recursion. Your title is fulfilling it’s promise.
Thanks for explaining this so clearly. I've been doing Hackerrank 30 Days of Code for JS and it's had me in tears, but the way you explained this concept makes sense to my brain. I'll be back :)
You're welcome!
I've seen a lot of explanation videos about recursive functions and I did't understand it but now I finally get it. Your way of explanation is very clear and this Matryoshka dolls example totally helped. Thanks a lot!
This is the exact video I needed. Much more of a comprehensive explanation than 99% of the other videos out there.
This has to be the most comprehensive and detailed explanation of recursion and simple to understand! thanks for this one!
That bubble up thing you did at the end helped me a ton, thanks!
This is about as straightforward as it gets. I've been curious about the consequences of breaking things down into smaller parts, and you've just given me a clear explanation. Your tutorial is great, right to the point.
I was about to cry trying to understand merge sort until I found this video. Thanks for the explanation; it's probably one of the best explanations about recursive functions out there.
This was PERFECT!!
I got a "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" and from there found out it was because I was trying to do recursion without a base case. I had heard of recursion before, and heard about recursion needing a base case in order to have an exit - but I'd never been formally taught recursion so didn't know precisely what it was or how to implement it.
After watching your video, I saw that the function in my head I was trying to achieve was recursive - and also understood exactly what I need to do to write my function correctly.
Super excited! thank you! :)
I have done several advanced classes and but no one ever explained recursion as you did. I would understand it technically because I can debug and follow through but still, I could not clearly explain it like you! Good job brother
Dude, you're literally the only one who made it look easy. I didn't get recursion before but thanks to you now it's clear like a lake in Switzerland. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much man! big help! was panicking with what I had seen online so far, but you have made it crystal clear for a beginner like me
No problem
Thank you for the factorial example, I FINALLY am getting it. Your walkthrough there is much appreciated, thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I feel like you unlocked a new part of my brain, I was really struggling to comprehend wtf was happening with recursion.
Thank you! The "bubble up" explanation certainly made it all simple and clear.
Thank you, buddy, I have solved my problem . I was seeing lots of videos about recursion, but I did not understand actual things about recursion. When I am seeing your video about recursion, that's time I finally clear my doubt about recursion. Thank you, buddy.
Thank you very much! Has been in coding for about 3 years, but this is the first time I am understanding recursion.
Aaaaah. What a great analogy! The matroshka really illustrates everything with recursion!
Holy shit this is the best explanation. If everyone teaching programming explained things like this then maybe many of us who can't wrap our heads around complex concepts after hearing them only once wouldn't feel so discouraged from trying to learn how to code from the get-go.
Appreciate that 😁
Hands down, best explanation of recursion on RUclips... You definitely accomplished your goal of explaining a rather unintuitive concept in a very thorough yet approachable manner, kudos!
Thank you Jesse
This is hands down the best video I’ve ever seen on recursion. Thank you so much for explaining it clearly and concisely!
This is easily the 10th or 11th video I've watched on recursion and it's the first that is genuinely easy to understand
The Word "Bubbles Up" was everything I needed to grasp the concept. Thanks
This is brilliant. Beautiful how you broke down exactly what was going on behind the sceens in the factorial function. Thank you!
You're welcome, Josiah
I have been watching other RUclips video for Recursion explanation but confused more after one and another
Until I found this video - this is video that has key to my brain and made me understand how recursion work! thank you
Best simple and great example. Must watch video. I already know what is recursion but i watched this because this topic is not explained by anyone with clarity.
But this person did.
I can't thank you enough for your explanation! The example with the Matryoshka dolls and chocolate helped sooo much! And likewise, seeing you step-through 4! helped me visualize what happens in each call-stack. I'm going to try what you taught into the problem I've been working for over a day (turning an Array of Arrays into an Object with Key-Value pairs).
😁 Glad I could help!
I quite literally can't give this video enough likes. I've been rattling my head for a week on this part of free code camp and even bought a book to learn it. This video was like a light bulb going off. Thank you!
me too
I've been feeling lost af on this concept all week, but I feel like I'm starting to have some footing thanks to you. Much appreciated, boss!
No problem Jon
i watched recursion from another channels, you explained so well that i came back here like a recursive function lol. thanks a lott
For someone like me who knows nothing but fundamentals, this is amazing! Recursion seems so intimidating but you’ve broken it down in a way even a newbie like me can get! Thanks a ton man!
Glad it was helpful!
So glad I found this! I was doing a lesson on freeCodeCamp and I could understand what was happening at a surface level, but I knew I'd never be able to actually apply this technique without understanding what the computer was actually DOING. This is dead simple once it's explained.
Woah dude. You are the best. I like how you didn't jump into the code straight up and actually tried to explain it with real world example which made everything so clear.
Glad it helped you! 😁
The way you laid out how the recursion calls play out once the base case is met, from 8:45 onward, is dope.
Thank you.
The best and coolest explanation I have ever seen. Two simple examples that explains everything. Thank you
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been learning on fcc and have been stumped on recursive functions for a couple of days. Your video helped immensely.
Glad I could help!
I wish all my programming instruction was this clear. It always seems like concepts that wouldn't be clear to a beginner--like the bubbling up-- are left out. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
OMG you did a great job of explaining this "simply" and in "layman's terms". Thank you so much for making this video and taking the time to put this together, this video helped me understand this concept much more!
Thanks, Alejandro. I'm glad the video helped you
You genius. Thank's for simplifying this for my simple mind. I was reading up on this and couldn't understand where they got the 'n - 1' from. This has really helped.
No problem!
the title did not lie, most concise explanation I have found, thank you!!!
Dude you literally taught me something new, I couldn’t grasp my head around recursions and you literally taught me something new.
I was reading on the recursion concept in Eloquent Javascript then I watched this, and with the help of both I would say now I understand 95% of what recursion is. Thanks.
Glad it helped
Wow man you're so great, I admire your work. I've seen so many videos and could not understand till I found your video. keep on it!
Awesome, thank you!
I don't think you understand how much greatness you were able to contribute to humanity through this one video. You have such a talent for communicating concepts so clearly. THANK YOUUU!!!!
I really appreciate that Sami! 😌
Dude was breathing so hard that he depleted the oxygen in my room to dangerously low levels. Currently writing this from the emergency room.
Also amazing recursion explanation! Genuinely couldn't wrap my head around it before this video. Thanks.
Clear as a day with blue skies. THANK YOU!
You're welcome
Thank you thank you thank you! I wish more people would talk through what is going on behind the scenes. So helpful. I so appreciate you!
You are so welcome!
I must say I had really hard time to wrap my mind around recursion in practice and all explanations were just to abstract (sometimes I wonder if it's on purpose to show off the superiority of the one doing the explaining). I was looking for an explanation just like this - simple, intuitive and most important of all showing what actually happens when the code is executed. Thank you so much!
No problem! Yes there are plenty of confusing videos out there that dance around the point.
Thank you! 4 years later this vid helped me so much!
You just made recursion so easy to understand. Nobody has done it as well as you. Great tutorial. Thanks
You're welcome!
you are awesome, I've been scratching my head with this concept for an hour.. and why u cleared it in 10 minutes.. thanks man
Saved it and will show it anyother who could be confused about recursion , very good explanation
Hey bro, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I am still struggling with a lot programming concepts a little bit. But this video did help me with recursion. Thank you again for taking the time to make it :)
You're welcome!
this is a pretty awesome video, most people don't explain each step of recursion. so this makes way more sense.
Dude thank you for this explanation! The "bubble up" gave me a real "ah-hah" moment on understanding HOW recursion was working
Thank you a lot. Previously I watched many videos, but can not understand what was happening in a recursive function. Now finally got it.
No problem
WAW BRO COME ON IT WAS SO AWESOME. WHY DO NOT YOU PRODUCE MANY SUCH SOLUTIONS LIKE THIS . I LOVED IT . THANK YOU BRO.
Thank u, I’ve been looking for a video that could explain me it. No one on RUclips explained it better than u did.
You're welcome
when as a beginner I listen these type of Js terms, I get demotivated and consider programming is not my thing but teacher like you are the only hope. Thank you @Devsage for your effort.
Glad I could help
@@DevSage people like you are true heroes..
super helpful! thank you! I am in week 3 of a coding bootcamp and this helped a lot. Gonna go through your entire channel now! lol
No problem. Glad I could help!
Awesome! Had troubles understanding Javascript Recursion until i saw this video. Great job and thanks.
This really is THE best explanation to recursion I've seen so far! Thank you!
I couldn't understand the ethic behind recursion before watching this. This definitely helped!
So clear and simple, will definitely be watching more videos!
I was ready for worst, but recursion turned out to be very easy, thank you
showing how it lays out and then calculates in backwards from the base is all it took. made it click! Thanks!
I normally don't take the time to comment on many videos, but your explanation is incredible! Thank you
Appreciate it, Flavio
This really was the *BEST* recursion explanation. I love the analogy with the russian dolls. Thank you so much!
Great information! Thank you. I think this is my first ever RUclips comment lol. Just had to say thanks. You have a great way of explaining things in a concise manner. Usually I feel like I need a tutorial to understand some of these tutorials ha!
I appreciate it. Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I've had plenty times where I would watch a tutorial and feel maybe MORE confused than before I watched it!
Thank you DevSage! You finally save me from this 10 years old of confusion... cheers!
Glad to help!
Thank you for such a clear explanation! I look forward to checking out your other videos.
You're welcome, Shannon
The best est javascript recursion explanation on RUclips indeed. Thanks man
That actually helped me! This concept has ben explained to me so many times with the dolls, the fibonacci function and so on yet only now the FLOW of the thing actually makes some sense! Thanks!
No problem!
10:06 YES!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
So simple and so clear man, thanks a lot.
I was having a lot of problems trying to understand this all hole thing of "recursive function".
Thumbs up and a new suscriber here! :)
this is really the best explanation about recusivity ive have ever seen, im sharing now with my friends
Thanks Gabriel 😅
Just cracked the Eloquent JavaScript chapter 3 exercise thanks to this! Respect mah brotha!
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling to get this and the step by step example was great and also using factorial was much simpler than fibbonachi like a lot of other tutorials which made it much easier to follow.
Thank you!!! My goodness, I knew recursion had to be simple, but couldn't seem to wrap my mind around it. Now any time I use it I'll be thinking of the russian stacking dolls!
Glad it helped
My Confusion about recursion was lifted, thanks to you 🙏
Glad it helped!
Wow, you just made all my Recursion fears go away with this video. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! I was struggling with this topic and you explained it really well.
Actually a really simple way of understanding it. Had to rewatch a couple times around the 07:30 mark but made sense of it in the end. Thanks!
My man, how do you even sit with nutz that big? This was amazing! The man showed up, explained, and left the crowd in awe...
