Re: Recursive Code Challenge

Recursion is a mathematical concept that allows you to express the algorithm in the least amount of notation. Like other mathematical forms, calculus and algebra for example, until you know it, it only seems to complicate things. Once you overcome the learning curve, the light goes on and you

; Info-LabVIEW Objet : Re: Recursive Code Challenge Salut, You are right. Formally, recursion can always be emulated with a data stack and a while loop. Using a recursive call, the data stack is managed automatically as data space is created for each recursion level. The cost in LabVIEW is efficiency
