Recursion only deals with a single step. You think what have I got, what do I need to do to get to the next step. This was much easier than trying to see the forest through the trees and write everything in a while loop, constantly updating variables, etc. It isn’t surprising that the recursive solution usually requires many fewer lines of code.

My dreams come true, and so do yours, I think ;]

It can do so on functions, but not on non-final methods (because they can be overrriden).

does what you write about
