  1. Right at the point where the video is being well explained, you turn off your sound! I understand the thought, but you can talk if you're actually walking someone through a problem.

  2. I don't think there is any reason to put if(n <= 0). Since n is being decremented by 1, it will never be less than 0 because the function will terminate when it reaches 0. So it would make more sense to put if(n === 0).

  3. please clarify me I tried same but I'm getting error the way you are showing its wrong look at below example

    let x= function (n){
    return n + x(n-1);
    }
    console.log(x(6));
    Output: error maximum number stack

    why this is not showing same output as you are showing us.

  4. Hey Techsith! Just wanted to say thanks again for your vids. We're actually doing recursive right now in class on BST'S. I had a chuckle at the end of this post because of that! Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and look forward to more vids..

  5. amazing tutorials sir, You're an amazing teacher plus the way you tell things is like story telling. I remember everything after watching your tutorial.
    Please upload a video on few companies that hire people on js and how much knowledge is required to be at that position.
    Thank you, sir.

  6. Hmm I'm still not quite clear on what specifically recursion is, if it's the nested functions or a shortcut so that you don't have to write the nested functions. And how to write recursion. Another video I watched explained this differently =/ Thank you though, appreciate all the info I can get πŸ™‚

  7. "Recursion is when a function calls itself within it's own body."

    function first () {
    return second();
    }

    This wouldn't be an example of recursion correct? because the function first is calling another function. However, if first function returned first(); then it would be an example of recursion.

    Good videos man. Keep it up

  8. Good explanations, could you possibily do a project in the near future? Like an application (to-do list, calculator, etc.) I think your method of teaching would really compliment a step by step tutorial project.
