That's awesome, though. It took me a while to really grok recursion. I mean, I "got" the concept when it was explained to me in data structures, but it wasn't until a few classes later that I was staring at the output of a recursive function I was trying to debug when I realized "oh! THIS is why recursion is useful!"

So, yeah. I'm interested. And just last week I thought I would never want to see another CS textbook again

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
