About This Episode:
In this episode, we unlock the power of recursion — functions that call themselves! 🔄 You’ll see why recursion needs a clear exit point (the base case), and how this elegant approach can simplify tricky problems. Together, we’ll walk through three hands-on examples:
⏱ A countdown timer that rockets to blast off!
✖️ Factorial computation (the classic recursion demo)
🔀 A recursive bubble sort that organizes chaos step by step
By the end, recursion will go from intimidating to intuitive — a tool you’ll actually want in your problem-solving toolkit. 🚀
