How can I optimize recursion in my code?

How can I optimize recursion in my code?

To optimize recursion, you can use techniques like memoization, tail recursion, and iterative approaches.

What is memoization and how does it help?

Memoization is a technique where you store the results of expensive function calls and reuse them when the same inputs occur again.

Can you give me an example of tail recursion?

Sure! In tail recursion, the recursive call is the last operation in the function. For example, calculating factorial using tail recursion.

Are there any downsides to using recursion?

Yes, recursion can lead to stack overflow if the recursion depth is too high, and it may be less efficient than iterative solutions.
