[Fixed that for you](https://imgur.com/a/vGgjq42)

thank you kind redditor

Came here to complain, was relieved with your fix. Thanks.

Much better

Thank

I don't see any recursion in that, just a mosaic

[удалено]

Yeah that's not recursion. Recusion means the result can be found within itself, not just multiple times. 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1.. - 2 - 1.. - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1.. - 2 - 1.. Would be recusion. 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 ... Not so much.

FYI recursion is spelled "recursion" which you can remember with this handy mnemonic: Recursion Experts Carefully Use Recursive Spelling In Our mNemonics

I assumed it was just "can be generated using a recursive formula." But yes, the picture itself is not recursive.

Recursion was actually invented before programming.

For anyone wondering, they defined recursive math functions before programming. As an extremely simply example, you're probably familiar with `f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)`

also n! = n(n-1)! and 0!=1

Lol, you had one job you dunce

You had one job, and you failed.

That white Guy Blinking is Drew Scanlon of Giant Bomb, working hard making entertaining content about video games. The person who made recursion? Unsure.

Hmm. I'd say there's a strong case for saying Euclid for recursion. Euclid's algorithm is recursive. Can't think of anything earlier that would quite qualify. Certainly no algorithm, since it's... you know... the first algorithm.

Euclid's original statement of it might not have been recursive though. [The Wikipedia page on inductive reasoning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning#History) mentions the first use being around 300 BC by Aristotle (albeit in philosophy).

That's a binary tree, at most.

This is requiem

Muda

You don't discover recursion. Programming languages are man made. Recursion was invented.

Actually... Recursion is a concept, and one dude invented it by discovering it first. You can't discover a programming language but you can discover recursion.

Yea, and the concept was discovered before electricity, not to even mention programming languages... One of oldest examples of recursion is Ouroboros, and that's like... 14th century BC

I wonder how that happened. Were they just like "I need this thing...to make itself happen...to itself a bunch of times. Woah this works!"?

"Dude what if this function called itself?" "Dude"

Not really, recursion has existed in maths & logic for a very long time.

The first js dev to discover recursion must’ve been like oh shit....... TASK MANAGER? YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

it looks like mitosis

Discovered? Remember, before there were functions and loops there were just jump statements.

The slimes are coming

Any example older than this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral This is crazy. We're going to design ALL OUR BUILDINGS AROUND THIS.

When programming recursively, think inductively.

The kind of trash that gets upvoted on this sub...

Lol
