Recursive algorithm: description, analysis, features and examples

Computers have opened up new horizons for recursion, but the classical consciousness of a qualified developer is not in all cases ready to realize them. Object-oriented ideas came to the world of information processing twice, but the first time information processing did not yet have hardware support, and the second time programming had already managed to burden itself with the classics of the genre.

Distances in space. Astronomical unit, light year and parsec

For their calculations, astronomers use special units of measurement that are not always clear to ordinary people. It is understandable, because if cosmic distances were measured in kilometers, then the number of zeros would ripple in the eyes. Therefore, to measure cosmic distances, it is customary to use much larger quantities: an astronomical unit, a light year, and a parsec. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Which water freezes faster: hot or cold? What does it depend on

Which water freezes faster, hot or cold, is influenced by many factors, but the question itself seems a little strange. It is understood, and it is known from physics, that hot water still needs time to cool down to the temperature of comparable cold water in order to turn into ice. Cold water can skip this stage, and, accordingly, it wins in time. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
