Recursion is one of the most essential algorithms that uses the concept of code reusability and repeated usage of the same piece of code. In this post, we have curated an extensive list of interview questions asked around the Recursion Algorithm. The point that makes Recursion one of the most used algorithms is that it forms the base for many other algorithms,such as:
- Tree traversals
- Graph traversals
- Divide and Conquer Algorithms
- Backtracking algorithms
