Discussion Post: Recursion/ Iteration
Recursion and iteration are similar they execute sets of instructions repeatedly. However, the main difference is that the recursion is when a statement in a function calls itself repeatedly. Iteration is a loop that repeatedly executes until the condition is not met, or becomes false.
Recursion uses the selection structure. The selection structure is a programming feature that performs a different process depending on whether a boolean condition is true or false. They use relational operators to test if the conditions are true or false.
Recursion terminates when the base case is recognized; The base case n=1. It is slower than iteration and used more memory than iteration. The code is smaller using recursion.
