Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a recursive function in Python to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers using Euclid's algorithm. Explain how you handle the base case.

💡 Hint: Remember how GCD reduces the problem size with each call.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the impact of recursion in a real-world scenario, such as file system traversal. Explain how it can simplify the logic but also lead to challenges. What strategies can you apply to mitigate the challenges?

💡 Hint: Think about file structures and how they branch out.
