W05: Interview Question
Overview
This assignment must be completed individually to ensure you are meeting all course outcomes. You should not complete this assignment with a group. If you obtain help from a tutor, the tutor should help you understand principles but should not help you answer these problems. It is an honor code violation to obtain answers for these problems from others including using the internet (i.e. sites that allow students to share their solutions).
Instructions
This assignment is meant to simulate the kind of question you might receive in a job interview. It is important for you to understand the problem, develop a quality solution, and communicate it in a clear and professional manner.
You will need to record and upload a short video with your response to the question below. When making your video, please remember the following:
- Show your your face.
- Speak clearly.
- The video should be less than 3 minutes.
- The video should be uploaded as a public, but unlisted video, so the grader can see it without permissions.
Recursion Pitfalls
Recursion is a very powerful tool, but it also has some pitfalls and is not always the right tool for all situations. For this assignment respond to the following question:
- What are two potential pitfalls of using recursion? How could you overcome these challenges (either by using an alternative technique or by doing something to help the recursion)?
Submission
When you have finished the video:
- Upload the video as a public, unlisted video.
- Return to I-Learn to submit a link to your video.
