I was struggling so hard to figure out how recursion works step by step, this video made me see the light. Thank you so much.

[@estebanmoraga3126]

I just started my programming journey and this by far has been the most clear explanation I've found as to how recursion works. Having you explain how each iteration of the function basically creates it's own "instantiation of x" , here: 13:09, really made it click for me! Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge for free, you are a legend!

[@bsgamer5069]

This channel is a gem. 💎

[@TheLaneMinecraft]

Man, your videos make it click in my brain. Brilliant explanation. Hitting like button

[@navguest1740]

Thank you for the effort :) These are explained in a very simple manner and useful videos ...keep up the good work

[@santacloudy]

Finally, I understood this annoyingly complex for me concept, thank you so much!

[@LSK-kb1xu]

Thank you so much for the video. It will help me and others out so much.❤❤

[@majdhallak]

Very well explained. Starting with the simplest program.

[@kaoutharlakhder8449]

Wooow so cool, I answered all Qst in my homework based on ur explanation 💙💙 we r engineer student we study c in this semester but in French language 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@sykoz371]

Im taking CS50x, the online course, and I really needed a better explanation of these recursive functions because people seem to use it a lot in actual jobs. Thank you very much, although I still have a hard time with them

[@CodeVault]

Actually recursive functions are a bad idea to use in production environments as it makes code very difficult to understand. Wherever I worked I had to untangle recursive code into normal iterative versions of it so that it would be easy to understand and won't cause a huge memory leak.
In some languages it is a powerful tool but, for the more popular languages, I really don't recommend using it unless you absolutely need to

[@user-dl8fh1mk8g]

Very good video, does a great job of explaining.

[@playdoob]

Godly video, dude. Thank u

[@iflameeanimation4091]

Thank you for this video. It really helps

[@abdelrahmanahmedaliebrahim2137]

Perfect explanation 👋👋

I fall in love with your amazing videos 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 thank you

[@abbudix1219]

Thank you sir 🤚

[@k_ushagra]

thank you for the requested video :)

[@leylayim]

thanks for the clear explanation and for the homework as well. I did the digits one, so here it is;
#include
int digitsss(int x){
if (x==0) return 0;
int a = x%10;
return a+digitsss(x/10);
}
main(){
printf("the sum value of digits is; %d", digitsss(5653));
}

[@CodeVault]

Looks good. Good job!

[@vostoks1203]

finally i understand how it s works,brillant expression.

[@fatimaismail4020]

So helpful !

[@florek5975]

i wish everyone was so good at explaining as you! going step by step is invaluable, I will def pass this vid to my friends and look more into your channel, thank you!!

[@CodeVault]

Thank you!

[@mongraal2272]

Can you please do more videos about recursive functions in c

[@EUU100]

Thank you very much, I am learning C, do you program in C++ as well or just C? I am asking because when researching about learning C I got the impression that it is sometimes good to start with c then learn c++

[@CodeVault]

I haven't worked much with C++ actually. I'd say C++ is much more different than C (even though you could use C in C++). Look for example at the string or IO libraries, they are wildly different.

[@bishopoftroy]

That`s not actually an intro to recursive functions but an advanced talk about them. Still, thank you for your time !

[@worldwide6626]

Videos on makefiles, cmake and perhaps embedded systems please?

[@CodeVault]

Yep, they're are on my todo list

[@johntera4958]

still learning here...
i'm not sure if this is correct or not for homework questions no 1, I got the exact result
int foo(int x) {
if (x < 0) {
return -2;
}
sleep(1);
printf("x is: %i
", x);
return x + foo(x - 2);
}

[@CodeVault]

Hmm, if I call the function with foo(6) it doesn't give me the right result. Why do you have a return -2; there?

[@narasarajv5278]

What is reentrant and non reentrant function.Can you please make a video on this.

[@CodeVault]

I'll look into it

[@narasarajv5278]

@@CodeVault thanks

[@chisomodimmegwa3479]

Below is the answer for the homework at the end of the video:
int sumEven(int x) {
if(x == 0) {
return 0;
}
else if(x%2 == 0) {
return x + sumEven(x-1);
}
else {
return sumEven(x-1);
}
}
int main() {
int x = sumEven(6);
printf("%d
",x);
return 0;
}

[@CodeVault]

Nice! Really good job! Hope you understood recursive functions with this
