🧠 Introduction to Recursive Algorithms

The paragraph introduces the concept of recursive algorithms, which the speaker considers one of the most challenging yet beautiful parts of the study of algorithms. It explains that a recursive algorithm is a method of solving a problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. The speaker uses the analogy of standing between two facing mirrors to illustrate the self-referential nature of recursion, where an image within a frame contains the frame itself. The paragraph also mentions that recursion is not limited to functions but can also be implemented in procedures. It then transitions into explaining the recursive nature of factorial calculations, a common example used to demonstrate recursion, where the factorial of a number is defined in terms of the factorial of a smaller number.

🔍 Deep Dive into Factorial Recursion

This paragraph delves deeper into the recursive nature of factorial calculations. It explains that the factorial of a number 'n' is defined as 'n' times the factorial of 'n-1'. The speaker uses the mathematical formula to illustrate this, showing that factorial 'n' equals 'n' times factorial 'n-1'. The paragraph highlights the recursive definition where the base case is when 'n' is zero, in which case the factorial is 1. For all other values of 'n', the factorial is calculated by multiplying 'n' by the factorial of 'n-1'. The speaker emphasizes the self-referential aspect of the factorial function, which is a quintessential example of recursion in algorithmic problems.

Keywords

💡Algorithm

An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions designed to accomplish a specific task or solve a particular problem. In the context of the video, the speaker is discussing the complexity and beauty of algorithms within the field of computer science. The video aims to demystify what the speaker considers one of the most challenging parts of learning algorithms, which is recursion.

💡Recursion

Recursion is a method in programming where a function calls itself in order to solve smaller instances of the same problem. It is a fundamental concept in computer science, particularly in the study of algorithms. The video uses the metaphor of mirrors facing each other to illustrate the concept of recursion, where each reflection contains the previous one, much like a recursive function contains calls to itself.

💡Function

In programming, a function is a block of code designed to perform a specific task. It can be called by other parts of the program to execute its task. The video explains that recursion is often implemented within functions, where a function calls itself to solve a problem by breaking it down into smaller sub-problems.

💡Procedure

A procedure is similar to a function but is typically used in the context of structured programming languages. It is a set of actions that are performed in a specific order. The video mentions procedures in relation to recursion, indicating that recursion can also be implemented in procedures, not just functions.

💡Factorial

The factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. It is a common mathematical operation used in various fields, including computer science. In the video, factorial is used as an example to demonstrate the recursive nature of certain problems, where the calculation of a factorial number involves the factorial of a smaller number.

💡Base Case

In recursion, the base case is the condition that stops the recursive calls. It is the simplest instance of the problem that can be solved directly without further recursion. The video explains that for the factorial function, the base case is when n is 0, as 0! is defined to be 1.

💡Recursive Case

The recursive case is the part of a recursive function where the function calls itself with a smaller input. It is the mechanism by which recursion breaks down a problem into simpler sub-problems. In the video, the recursive case for factorial is shown as n! being equal to n times (n-1)!.

💡Mirror Image

The video uses the concept of a mirror image as an analogy for recursion. When looking into a mirror, one sees an image that reflects back an image of itself, and so on indefinitely. This visual metaphor helps to explain how a recursive function contains within it a call to itself, creating a chain of recursive calls.

💡Problem Solving

Problem solving is the process of finding solutions to problems. In the context of the video, the speaker is discussing how recursion is a powerful problem-solving technique in algorithm design. It involves breaking down a complex problem into simpler, more manageable sub-problems that can be solved using the same method.

💡Mathematical Formula

A mathematical formula is a concise way of expressing information in mathematics. In the video, the speaker uses the mathematical formula for factorial, n! = n * (n-1)!, to illustrate the recursive relationship. This formula shows how the factorial of a number is calculated by multiplying the number by the factorial of the number minus one.

wabarakatuh teman-teman semua kita akan

belajar satu buah materi yang saya pikir

dalam

mata pelajarannya atau dalam ilmu

pelajaran algoritma ini adalah

eh bagian yang menurut saya paling sulit

itu ya Selama saya belajar algoritma

namun ini adalah bagian paling indah

dalam tanda kutip dari

ei5 algoritma itu sendiri yaitu adalah

rekursif ya algoritma rekursif ini eh 1

bab terakhir kalau kita mau belajar

tentang

agoritma

na rekursif itu apa Jadi secara definisi

tekstual ya ini mohon maaf agak membumi

membingungkan mungkinnya dari

definisinya rekursif adalah teknik

menyelesaikan persoalan dimana didalam

nah di dalam menyelesaikan persoalan itu

mengandung definisi persoalan itu

sendiri ya

eh atau dalam bentuk implementasinya

nanti rekursif ini diimplementasikan

dalam sebuah fungsi tentu Sebelumnya kan

kita sudah belajar apa itu fungsi Apa

itu prosedur yang tidak langsung si

tersebut nanti memanggil fungsi itu

sendiri gitu

itu rekursif secara implementasi

sebenarnya eh tidak hanya dalam sebuah

fungsi sih dalam prosedur pun juga tentu

nanti implementasinya bisa hanya

lazimnya ekskursif ini diimplementasikan

dalam sebuah fungsi na dalam contoh

keseharian misalkan kita berdiri di satu

lorong Gimana Di Dinding antar dua

lorong itu ada cermin yang saling

berhadapan Ketika kita melihat cermin

itu maka cermin ini akan memantulkan

cermin di dalam kita Ed sang Kita dimana

di belakang di cermin di belakang kita

itu ada kita dengan cermin yang di depan

kita lagi kalau kemudian di cermin yang

di depan kita ada kita lagi

terus ini dan seterusnya ada di dalam

satu buah cermin ada kita yang ada

cerminnya lagi lalu kemudian dicermin

tuada kita lagi dengan cermin lagi dan

seterusnya teman-teman kalau datang anak

cowok misalkan nya pergi ke

apa namanya Barbershop di teater tukang

cukur di depan wajah kita ada cermin di

belakang kita ada cermin Maka kalau kita

melihat

cermin yang ada di belakang kita itu ada

cermin kita lagi GTA tentu culture

minyak benar-benar berhadapan atau non

bisa coba-coba hadapan dua buah cermin

atau kalau kita misalkan ada di lift

yang dimana live itu Sisinya adalah

cermin pasti kita akan melihat Sisi

cermin itu ada kita dan cermin lagi

terus dan seterusnya Nah itu gambaran

bagaimana rekursif di dalam dunia

jadi dalam satu buah bingkai persoalan

di dalamnya ada persoalan itu sendiri

dan di dalamnya ada persoalan itu

sendiri begitu ya Nah nanti kita coba

lihat dalam konteks algoritma

contoh misalkan kita punya persoalan

perulangan faktorial ya factorials Nol

itu satu faktorial satu itu satu

faktorial 2 itu satu kali dua faktorial

tiga itu satu kali dua kali tiga

faktorial 4 itu satu kali dua kali tiga

kali empat dan faktor ya lima itu satu

kali dua kali tiga kali empat kali lima

nah ini contoh tentang faktorial ini

sudah sering dibahas di video-video

sebelumnya temen-temen silahkan cek

video-video saya yang algoritma soal

faktorial baik itu di Sumba perulangan

ataupun F fungsi Kalau enggak salah daya

bisa cek lagi di sana Nah ternyata

Wow

proses melakukan faktorial ini ini juga

sebenarnya memiliki sifat rekursif

Kenapa karena kalau kita lihat Oke

faktorial nol itu memang satu Ternyata

faktorial satu itu adalah faktor yang

nol dikali satu dan faktorial 2 itu

adalah faktorial satu dikali faktorial 2

faktorial tiga itu adalah faktorial 2

dikali dengan tiga faktorial 4 itu

adalah faktorial tiga dikali dengan 4G

dan faktorial 5 itu adalah

faktorial 4 dikali lima silakan

teman-teman di pos video ini lalu Coba

lihat antara kiri dan kanan lihat ya Ini

satu adalah faktorial satu kali dua

inhaled nih mulai tiga kelihatan Ya

gimana tiga itu adalah faktorial 2

sebenarnya satu kali dua itulah

faktorial 2 jadi yang kanan ini adalah

pola rekursif yang kiri perulangan

ada biasanya Eh rekursif ini nanti kita

menyelesaikan persoalan-persoalan yang

bentuknya juga perlu dan ya cukup

silakan di-pause dipandangi antara kiri

dengan kanan

oke kalau sudah di Paus sudah bisa

dipahami dari contoh ini kita lanjut nah

di dalam persoalan faktorial terdapat

persoalan faktorial itu sendiri lihat di

dalam faktor yang empat itu terdapat

persoalan faktorial 3gnya jadi dalam

faktorial ada persoalan faktorial itu

sendiri nah kalau kita Tuliskan dalam

bentuk eh matematika faktorial dari n

itu kan satu kali dua kali seterusnya

sampai dengan n min1 dikalikan dengan n

ya jadi faktorial dari mitos adalah n

kurang satu faktorial dikalikan dengan

seperti ini ya faktorial 4 itu adalah

empat kurang satu faktorial yaitu tiga

faktorial dikalikan dengan empat dia

Jadi ini korelasinya dengan rumus yang

ada di bawah sini aku

Iya nah jadi kita lihat di sini n

faktorial itu dia akan bernilai 1

jika

n-nya itu adalah nol

lalu kemudian ia akan bernilai n

caliente in 1 faktorial yang ini dengan

posisinya ditukar aja jadi nw-1

faktorialnya pindah ke kanan kalau NY

itu lebih besar dari nol ya jadi dia

akan bernilai 1 kalau NY itu nol

sedangkan dia akan bernilai n * n

faktorial kalau dia lebih besar dari
