I’ve used recursion quite a lot on my many years of programming to solve simple problems, but I’m fully aware that sometimes you need iteration due to memory/speed problems.
So, sometime in the very far past I went to try and find if there existed any “pattern” or text-book way of transforming a common recursion approach to iteration and found nothing. Or at least nothing that I can remember it would help.
- Are there general rules?
- Is there a “pattern”?
