defining recursive function python code example
Example: recursion in python
houses = ["Eric's house", "Kenny's house", "Kyle's house", "Stan's house"]
# Each function call represents an elf doing his work
def deliver_presents_recursively(houses):
# Worker elf doing his work
if len(houses) == 1:
house = houses[0]
print("Delivering presents to", house)
# Manager elf doing his work
else:
mid = len(houses) // 2
first_half = houses[:mid]
second_half = houses[mid:]
# Divides his work among two elves
deliver_presents_recursively(first_half)
deliver_presents_recursively(second_half)
