Algorithms for managing data structures sometimes involve recursion. With recursion, an algorithm calls itself, which means it repeats its own processes as part of a looping structure, with each ...

Reviewed by Chetan G. Shah, CFANearly 90% of Recursive Models of Dynamic Linear Economies was written between 1988 and 1994, ... and doubling algorithms.

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 ...
