  2. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    [Functions that consume structured data] typically decompose their arguments into their immediate structural components and then process those components. If one of the immediate components belongs to the same class of data as the input, the function is recursive. For that reason, we refer to these functions as (STRUCTURALLY) RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS.

  3. Curiously recurring template pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring...

    However, if base class member functions use CRTP for all member function calls, the overridden functions in the derived class will be selected at compile time. This effectively emulates the virtual function call system at compile time without the costs in size or function call overhead (VTBL structures, and method lookups, multiple-inheritance ...

  4. Circular dependency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_dependency

    Circular dependencies can cause many unwanted effects in software programs. Most problematic from a software design point of view is the tight coupling of the mutually dependent modules which reduces or makes impossible the separate re-use of a single module.

  5. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem. The divide-and-conquer technique is the basis of efficient algorithms for many problems, such as sorting (e.g., quicksort , merge sort ), multiplying large numbers (e.g., the Karatsuba algorithm ), finding the closest pair of points , syntactic ...

  6. Mutual recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion

    These examples reduce easily to a single recursive function by inlining the forest function in the tree function, which is commonly done in practice: directly recursive functions that operate on trees sequentially process the value of the node and recurse on the children within one function, rather than dividing these into two separate functions.

  7. Merge sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort

    The first consists of many recursive calls that repeatedly perform the same division process until the subsequences are trivially sorted (containing one or no element). An intuitive approach is the parallelization of those recursive calls. [19] Following pseudocode describes the merge sort with parallel recursion using the fork and join keywords:

  8. Primitive recursive function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_function

    A total recursive function is a partial recursive function that is defined for every input. Every primitive recursive function is total recursive, but not all total recursive functions are primitive recursive. The Ackermann function A(m,n) is a well-known example of a total recursive function (in fact, provable total), that is not primitive ...

  9. Ackermann function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_function

    All primitive recursive functions are total and computable, but the Ackermann function illustrates that not all total computable functions are primitive recursive. After Ackermann's publication [ 2 ] of his function (which had three non-negative integer arguments), many authors modified it to suit various purposes, so that today "the Ackermann ...
