Whisper & Cheng
Whisper
Have you ever felt a recursive function whisper like a refrain, echoing the same line until it finds its own end?
Cheng
Yeah, recursion is that little echo in code that keeps humming the same line until the base case says “stop.” It’s like a song that keeps looping until it finally hits the final chord.
Whisper
The echo stops when the note finally resolves.
Cheng
Yeah, the base case is that final chord that tells the recursion to hang up its hat.
