Whoever writes recursive code deserves to be beaten with an ACME brick between his/her legs

I'm talking here about web

Skill issue.

But unironically iterative is usually better desu

I don't get it either, why would you make your code worse on purpose instead of just using a loop

>>105779619
Some retards lack the brainpower to use something simple like a queue to transform recursive tasks into iterative ones.

Try to implement Ackermann function without recursion.

fuck you and your fake ass """""computer science"""""
99.99999% of software engineers use absolutely none of that shit, go back to doing code challenges faggot

>getting filtered by recursion
Lol lmao

>>105779951
no one but algorithm tards use recursion

This is one of those magic tricks they like to spook you with in college. No one in in the real industry writes recursive code for anything other than hyper topical specific use cases.

>getting filtered by recursion
isn't that like 1st CS semester shit, are ternary operators scawy as well?

>>105780125
now imagine function that has 1000 lines and it calls itself, there no comments and the functionality depends on external state.

>>105780125
No one's talking about 1st CS semester scripts

Explain to me a better way to traverse a tree structure without it.

Her? I wish...

people like you are the reason computers litterally a million times faster than 40 years ago boot slower than an original macintosh off a fucking floppy does.

Isn't XML all about trees and shit? Recursion is the natural choice here, updating a parent means updating all of it's children too. Not more complicated than any game engine with a scene/node system.

Imagine getting filtered by recursion.
Lol.

>he doesn't know about link reversal
grim.

>>105779619
Writing a program recursively is a great way to model a problem before you optimize it. But in the real world the optimization step never happens because managers can't tell apart bikeshedding from improving the product.

My father worked in tech. He said "never show your boss a prototype because then he'll ship it as a finished product"

>>105781101
Recursion eats up memory very quickly.

Your father was a gay nigger.
