Can anyone suggest an effective way of understanding recursion in c++

Question

I can use recursion if there is a problem with only one same operation in the whole loop.. but for problems with more than one operation, its hard for me to solve it using recursion(like Fibonacci series, Finding GCD,etc)

Answer 1

recursion is not language dependent, its a programming style/ paradigm.

Here i have explained how recursion works actually, with an example (in a question answer section)

For coding example in recursion
I have made 2 codes on recursion and printed their stack trace.

You can try writing your own codes as HonFu suggested.

Hope that helped 😄

Answer 2

What worked for me:

Solve the simplest tasks using recursion, like finding sum, max, prime or taking input.

After I did these for a while, it became suddenly easier to imagine more complicated cases.
