Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What happens if a recursive function does not reach a base case?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens in the call stack.

Question 2

Easy

Define memoization in your own words.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Why do we want to cache results?

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is a common risk associated with deep recursion?

  • Stack Overflow
  • Memory Leak
  • Compilation Error

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when there are too many nested functions.

Question 2

True or False: Memoization improves performance by recalculating results for previously computed inputs.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the purpose of storing previous results.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Implement a Fibonacci function using recursion with memoization. Analyze its performance against a simple recursive version without memoization.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to use a data structure to hold computed Fibonacci values for memoization.

Question 2

Design a recursive factorial function that avoids stack overflow by implementing tail recursion. Compare it to the standard recursive implementation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Tail recursion can be optimized by the compiler to prevent stack overflow problems.
