My slides say that:

  • A recursive call should always be on a smaller data structure than the current one

  • There must be a non recursive option if the data structure is too small

  • You need a wrapper method to make the recursive method accessible

Just reading this from the slides makes no sense, especially seeing as it was a topic from before christmas!

Could anyone try and clear up what it means please?

Thank you
