Recursion is the most elegant and appropriate way to solve some problems, but for others it is less intuitive than an iterative solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recursion can provide elegant solutions for problems such as traversing tree structures or solving problems that have a natural recursive decomposition (e.g., Fibonacci sequence, factorial calculation). However, for some problems, especially those that do not have a clear base case or a natural recursive structure, iterative solutions can be more intuitive and efficient, avoiding potential issues like stack overflow.
