Recursion, Iteration and DFS

Recursion, Iteration and DFS Recursion, Iteration and DFS INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW: Definition Importance Advantages Limitations Case Study Real-World Example Types Recursion, Iteration, and Depth-First Search (DFS) are fundamental concepts in Data Structures and Algorithms. They are used to solve problems that involve repetition, traversal, and breaking complex problems into smaller parts. These techniques are widely used in programming, algorithm design, artificial intelligence, and system optimization. DEFINITION Recursion Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of the same problem until a base condition is reached. It is especially useful for problems that have a natural hierarchical or tree-like structure, such as trees, graphs, and divide-and-conquer algorithms Iteration Iteration is a process where a set of instructions is repeated using loops such as for or while until a condition becomes false.
