Week 4: Start of Recursion

This week, we took our first steps in recursion. I have only worked with recursion problems once before and that was in a function which was basically the power function, but the level of recursion problems that we are having in this course is way higher. At first, this concept was a little confusing for me, but as we went through more and more problems such as nested_depth and rec_max it become clearer for me. One of the other interesting things that we did this week was the tree_burst function which used the turtle module in order the draw and create shapes. I found this week's lab and exercise pretty easy and straight forward but the upcoming assignment seems to be pretty difficult and complicated. Hope it won't be that big of a problem and will be manageable to handle.
