I can say for a fact I had no problems writing recursive algorithms back in the 90s when total memory size was around the same as what we'd consider a small stack now (at 10s of bytes per call ...

Also, a recursive algorithm can always be implemented iteratively by using an explicit stack. Finally, I'd note that a five-line solution is probably always better than a 100 line one (assuming ...

Java factorial recursion explained. Notice how the recursive Java factorial function does not need an iterative loop. Instead, the code repeatedly calls itself until a stop condition is met. In this ...
