Reflection

As you leave lab and walk across campus, ask yourself some questions:

• Why does a recursive method typically take longer to complete than its iterative counterpart?
• How does recursion relate to pyramid money making schemes?
• Say you have two mirrors, mirror A and mirror B. If you place the two mirrors so that they face each other, what does mirror A reflect? What does mirror B reflect? What is the general case? What is the base case?
• What happens if it's Opposite Day, and you say "It's Opposite Day"?
