       Me (who is not a programmer) trying to fully wrap my brain around recursive functions in Pascal tonight.

       @devrandom, as they say "to understand recursion, first, you have to understand recursion".

       @lispi314 @efftoyz by looking up more explanations and examples in a few different languages I've played around with before I was finally able to wrap my brain around the concept. Or at least I think I mostly get it. I probably should spend time playing around with it more so that I really understand it and don't forget it.It's strange, I've done tons of beginner programming books and tutorials in lots of languages. Recursive functions like this are rarely explained.
