Understanding Tail Recursion in Scala and Clojure

Tail recursion optimizes recursive functions to prevent stack overflow by reusing the same stack frame.

Tail recursion

Tail recursion enables memory-efficient recursion by allowing compilers to optimize and reuse stack frames, preventing overflow.

Recursion and Tail Recursion in Scala : An easy step by step guide.

Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem.
...
In this article we will see how to implement a recursive and delve into the challenge of recursive function encountering larger input value.Finally we will get to know the better version of recursion known as Tail Recursion and how tail recursion overcomes the challenge of a simple recursive function.
...
If a function's definition involves calling the function itself then the function is called recursive function.
...
Recursion is a powerful programming technique that allows functions to call themselves and thus express problems in a clear , concise and intuitive way.However, as we've seen, traditional recursive implementations may encounter challenges with larger inputs due to stack overflow issues.
