recursive functions

[nikulinden]

Hi all!

Can anyone recommend a good book on recursion. I don't need basic info
I would prefer something of intermediate lvl. The interest is more of
practical usage but some theory would help as well.

Ty for your help

In my experience every book on recursion that I've ever started to read
turned out to be extremely repetitive. And I've never found one that I
could make it all the way through to the end.

If you need to sharpen your knowledge of how to apply recursion in a
design, then do some programming in Common Lisp or Scheme.

If you need a book on only recursion here's one:

There isn't much to know. ;-)

Except if you're thinking of applications of recursion. Then that is
unbounded theme. You can apply recursion to just about any problem.

<url:
http://home.no.net/dubjai/win32cpptut/special/pointers/preview/pointers_01__alpha3.doc.pdf>

has a some basic examples of recursion in section 2, with the same
recursion implemented various ways in C++ (single function, virtual
member functions, recursive destructor).

Yeh I guess you are right. Thats what I really meant. I know how it
works and I can write a basic recursive function but when I come across
some very cleverly written recursive function I am like ' geez thats
just brilliant!' or a few days ago I was wrecking my head trying to
figure out how one complicated r. function worked ( it was calling also
another recursive function). It is just I want to get a better
understanding where it is more applicable and how it works. You know,
maybe get a book that goes into more detail then a general book on C++
and have more good examples, something like that.

Ty for your feedback!

Then you haven't read 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs'
by Abelson and Sussman.

Actually, it was supposed to be a self reference, but the problem was that
"msgid:" is not what I have to write in the search line for searching a
message id. Ironically, if you remove the "msgid:" in the search line, it
works.
