In one of our previous uploads we discussed recursion and how to come up with recursive methods given a particular problem. In this video, we explain tail-recursion, what distinguishes tail-recursive methods from normal ones, and most importantly how to transform a recursive into a tail-recursive method and why do you want to do that, if you want to do it.

The description, the transformations, the visualization WOW!
Glad I found this gem of a channel, life will be simpler now :)
Thanks a lot for your support! Am very glad the video was helpful :)
Helpful and straight to the point , thanks !
Love computer science, there are so many interesting concepts to learn.
take home
Continuation passing style might be the only generic way out there that allows you to transform any code into a form that uses only tail calls hence reducing space complexity of recursive calls from O(n) to O(1)
Excellent. Just what I needed
Glad it is :)
2:49 to rephrase the given code:
factorial(n) = factorial(n, 1)
factorial(1, x) = x
factorial(n, x) = factorial(n - 1, n * x)
as compared to simple:
factorial(1) = 1
factorial(n) = n * factorial(n - 1)
hahaha, that's basically encoding the looping variables inside the function call itself.
this is exaclty what:
* i inferred while trying to write binomial coefficients recurcively, and later
* an article said about tail rec: "it's effectively using fxn calls to implicitly control the repetitions, rather than using explicit loops"
this is basically like creating an interface - which seems good on outside but in internal inolementation, the structure of the problem at hand is butchered.
which is one of the key selling pt of recursion: easily replicate the problem structure.
but yeah, other benefits to recursion still exists: its functional & stateless nature.
Woo finally video after 1 week 😅
Well yeah, I work full-time, so I upload once a week at the same time (banner has the timings)... Sorry can't upload more atm 😥
I am very thankful!
Thank you! Glad I could help :)
Thank you so much. Very helpful :)
Glad it was helpful :)
Need multithreading playlist
Nice!
✌👍👍
Geek stuff.
Thanks!
