Understanding Recursion and Loops

What is the purpose of using loops in programming?

• To send requests to a server

• To style web pages

• To define the structure of a database

• To execute a block of code a fixed number of times

What signifies the end of recursion in a recursive method?

• An infinite loop

• The recursive case

• The base case

• A syntax error

In the context of recursion, what is a base case?

• When the recursion continues indefinitely

• When the method updates its parameters

• When the method calls another method

• When the recursion should stop

How does a recursive method behave when the base case is not met?

• It exits the program

• It pauses execution

• It calls itself with modified parameters

• It throws an error

What is the role of the recursive case in a recursive method?

• To initialize variables

• To print the final output

• To call the method itself with updated arguments

• To define the method's parameters

What is required for a recursive method to avoid infinite recursion?

• A base case

• A for loop

• An external function call

• Multiple recursive cases

What happens when there are no more plates in the stack, according to the recursion example?

• The program crashes

• The method calls itself again

• The stack overflows

• A message is printed indicating completion

Which of the following best describes the difference between loops and recursion?

• Both can be used to repeat tasks, but recursion involves a function calling itself

• Recursion is a way to create loops in programming languages that do not support looping constructs

• Loops can execute code multiple times, while recursion cannot

• Loops are used for simple tasks, while recursion is used for complex algorithms

What is recrusion?

• A method calling another method

• A method pausing its execution.

• A method that calls itself.

• A method that exits immediately
