This lesson will teach you the differences between recursion and iteration.
We'll cover the following...
What is iteration?
Iterative code is a block of code that runs in a loop. In other words, the same code is repeated over and over again. The idea seems much similar to that of recursion. So where does the difference lie?
Is there a difference?
Within recursion and iteration, there are multiple differences. These differences give these two implementations of repeated code their own uses.
