FOR TEACHERS NEW IN ALPS

Get your evenings back.

Two new ways to put exactly the right activity in front of every class — without the late-night content building.

dynamic_feed

Bulk Import Paste a worksheet, exam, or study guide. Alps turns each question into a ready-to-assign interactive activity. An evening of formatting becomes two minutes.

library_add

Multi-Section Placement Teaching the same lesson across periods? Drop a set of activities into all your sections in one flow — same anchor, same content, no copy-paste.

▶ Watch the 50-second walkthrough — both flows, end-to-end.

article READING

What is Recursion?

Recursion is when a function calls itself to solve a smaller version of the same problem. Each call works on a piece of the original input, and the results combine into the final answer.

Factorial Example

def factorial(n): if n == 0: return 1 return n * factorial(n - 1)

Recursive factorial — your turn

def factorial(n): # Write the base case # Then the recursive step pass # Tests: # factorial(0) == 1 # factorial(5) == 120

quiz PRACTICE · QUIZ

Why does a recursive function need a base case?

It runs faster

It prevents infinite recursion

It saves memory

It doesn't need one

Tracing Recursive Calls

To understand recursion, draw the call stack. Each call adds a frame; each return pops one off…
