Recursion

Table of contents:

The chapter discusses recursion, a powerful technique for designing algorithms. Section 9.1 uses a puzzle to introduce the recursive way of thinking. The analysis of recursive algorithms requires new techniques, which are explained in Section 9.2. Two recursive sorting algorithms are introduced in Sections 9.3 and 9.4. While recursive algorithms are often very concise and elegant, their efficiency can sometimes be improved by converting them into a nonrecursive form, as explained in Section 9.5.
