Recursion

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Recursion is a problem-solving technique where a process calls itself to solve smaller instances of the same problem, shrinking the case at every call.

Show

Opening a set of nested dolls repeats one move on an ever-smaller doll until the solid one appears.

Watch for

The shrinking is mandatory, not decorative.
