- What are advantages and disadvantages of recursive calling
?
Through Recursion one can Solve problems in
its iterative solution is
Ex
You reduce size of the code when you use
Disadvantages
Recursive solution is always logical
difficult to trace.
Recursive procedures are huge memory hogs. Also, they're a nightmare to debug. Finally, it's

- Use of recursion in an algorithm has both advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is usually simplicity. The main disadvantage is often that the algorithm may require large amounts of memory if the depth of the recursion is very large.

Although at most of the times
The recursion is very flexible in
Using recursion,
Disadvantages
It requires extra storage space.
If the programmer forgets to specify the exit condition in the recursive function, the program will execute out of memory. In such a situation user has to press Ctrl+ break to pause and stop the function.
The recursion function is not efficient in execution speed and time.
If possible, try to solve a problem with iteration instead of recursion

- Rule of the thumb: use recursion when it will shorten your development effort (usually in tree structures) and when performance is not an issue.
Recursive functions are perfect for tree structures. Loops are perfect for iterations and sequences.

Advantages of Recursion
The code may be much easier to write.
Some situations are naturally recursive.
Naturally recursive data structures:
Linked lists.
Binary trees.
Naturally recursive problems:
Traversing linked lists.
Traversing binary trees.
Differentiating functions.
The Triangle
Disadvantages of Recursion
Recursive functions are
Excessive recursion may
One must be very careful when writing recursive
functions; they can be tricky.
There is shallow recursion and there is deep recursion.
Shallow recursion will not
take an excessively long time to execute.
Deep recursion is
The time and space overhead used by the stack on each call is a disadvantage of recursion. You should always minimize the number and size of the recursive function's arguments.
