Master recursion in Java for coding interviews, enhance problem-solving skills, and tackle real-world challenges confidently.

If you’ve got an interview coming up and want to brush up on your knowledge, or if you’ve ever struggled with solving coding problems using recursion, you'll find this course helpful.
 
You’ll start with the basics of what recursion is and why it’s important before diving into what it looks like in practice. You’ll see how recursion can help you solve a variety of different math, string, and data structure problems by using interactive code playgrounds that you can execute directly in your browser. You’ll have access to detailed explanations and visualizations for each problem to help you along the way.  
 
By the time you’re done, you’ll be able to use what you’ve learned to solve complex real-world problems and even advance more easily through your interviews at top tech companies.

Recursion for Coding Interviews in Java

The task is to reverse the string provided.

```Java
public static String reverseString(String myStr) {
  // Base case
  if (myStr.isEmpty()) {
    return myStr;
  }

  // Recursive case
  else {
    return reverseString(myStr.substring(1)) + myStr.charAt(0);
  }
}
```
What should the base case of the above mentioned code be?
