We're working on recursive programs in programming.  I fail to see the point of it because most of the programs we've been doing (Tower of Hanoi, Pascal's Triangle) take FOREVER to run after you cross a certain point (8 with Pascal's triangle, for Hanoi...who knows and who cares?  It's a dumb game anyway).  Oh yeah.  Also started making this random WCIII map.  It's pretty cool...I think ;) .

Oh? What's your WC3 map like? If you need anyone to test, let me know.


About recursive programming:
It's silly that they teach you about these algorithms that are worthless, with "exponential time complexity", or O(2^n) time complexity.

But! Recursive programming is not worthless and doesn't always lead to algorithms with exponential time complexity. They do have many natural applications, like maze traversals, certain fast sorting algorithms, and plenty of others. It's perhaps a shame you were exposed to bad examples, although I think that would be a good time to introduce the concept of complexity and how there are problems that computers can't solve.

For the Tower's of Hanoi, that problem is known to take a ridiculous amount of time for a large number of discs. However, I'm a bit skeptical about Pascal's triangle choking after just 8 lines... maybe there was something else going on there.

But! Recursive programming is not worthless and doesn't always lead to algorithms with exponential time complexity.

In fact, they have nothing to do w/ each other.  You can create algorithms in exponential time complexity and beyond w/o recursion, and conversely, you can create recursive algorithms that takes far less than exponential time (eg. one popular programming exercise w/ implementing factorials would result in a linear-time algorithm).

Recursion is simply an approach in creating an algorithm that works in the first place, the key approach being "divide and conquer".

Quote
It's perhaps a shame you were exposed to bad examples

Actually, I think they are excellent examples.  Tower of hanoi by design takes at least 2^n - 1 steps (or something close to that; I don't remember exactly) to carry out so the time complexity is a moot point.  It's simply an example of a problem that is very well-suited to being solved recursively.

Pascal triangle works well because its mathematical formula can be expressed in a recursive manner.  A naive implementation using recursion is of course not very fast, but mainly because the naive approach would keep recalculating the same stuff over and over in the process.  I don't know how advance your programming class will go, but there are techniques such as memoization (not a misspelling), where you cache intermediate results that had already been calculated, which can turn your O(2^n) recursive algorithm into a recursive algorithm that only runs in O(n^2).

I suppose they might not be the most "fun" examples, but then again, you're in a programming class, what can I say...... ::) :P

I had no idea you could use a Wii for that... What else can it do? These new systems seem  like, put simply, really good gaming computers. Is that the case? :huh:

Wii's, Xbox 360's, PS4 (or whichever one they're at now) all confuse me, and due to that, I stick with the N64 and the SNES.
