Quick Recursion

Recursion is considered to be an "advanced" topic. It shouldn't be. While this little volume covers a number of advanced topics that involve recursion - tail recursion, pruning, recursive data structures, the use of accumulators, and backtracking - this book shows how recursion itself is actually rather simple.
