Introduction

The objectives of this lab are to:

• Get you thinking about solving problems using recursion, in which a method tackles a small portion of problem and then calls itself to solve the rest.
• Show that many problems that are difficult to do with loops can be solved much more simply with recursion.

Your first step is to create a new project named project7 and in it a package called lab7. You could go ahead and import the sample code we'll refer to, so that you can run it yourself:

• RecursiveDeli.java
• ArraySum.java
• ArraySumVerbose.java
• FileTest.java
• FileLister.java
• FileLister2.java
