Question
Algorithms that use this concept can be analyzed with the Akra-Bazzi method, which generalizes the three different cases of algorithms using this concept that can be analyzed with the master theorem. Many functional programming languages like Lisp use this concept’s “tail” form to implement iteration. This concept is conventionally used in implementations of depth-first-search and algorithms like quicksort that are divide-and-conquer. The Towers of Hanoi problem can be solved with this programming concept, which requires defining a base case and a namesake step. For 10 points, name this concept in which a function calls itself. ■END■
ANSWER: recursion [accept word forms; accept tail recursion; prompt on divide-and-conquer until read]
