Ozymandias - Is This Recursion?
Sunday, 02 August 2015

 

Ozymandias More cartoon fun at xkcd a webcomic of romance,sarcasm, math, and language

 

The question, sorry cartoon, for this week is to work out if this really is recursion or is it simple iteration?

If you find this too easy what about the hover over text?

Extra credit for explaining Ozymandias and the connection to the first programmer and the first monster.

To get it started - I think it's recursion but for a while I really did think that it was iteration.
