I cleaned things up.How did the first version keep track of the running sum?Is there a way to calculate things like an average with recursion?MoreLimits of BigInt.Options for numeric types:Int, Short, Byte, Long, Double, FloatBigInt, BigDecimalGetting your head around recursion.IcP solutionsTracing RecursionThe act of running through code line by line to see what it does is called tracing. It is a very important skill for programmers.Tracing often involves writing out variables and tracing how they change or drawing “pictures”.I want to show you an approach to tracing recursive functions.Minute EssayThere are a few significant things that are lacking in our capabilities for programming. What do you see as things we lack that we need to add to be able to solve “real”
