SLOG Entry#2

     Well here's my weekly SLOG entry. This week, in the wonderful world of computer science, we learned about recursive functions. In layman terms, a recursive function is a function that calls upon itself to accomplish its task. Sounds simple enough, but its an important computer science tool with a wide variety of uses. From the examples we did in class about counting the depth of lists, to complex fractals, recursive programming is a common occurrence in many of the programs we use and love. Or use and hate. I particularly enjoyed the turtle example we were given as watching a recursive animation of lines being drawn is oddly relaxing. Anyway, that's all for this week. Tune in next week for more computer science!
