How to Memorize "non-recursive"
-
visualize
- Imagine a tree growing without branches that represent recursive calls. Instead, the tree grows downwards in a linear fashion.
-
associate
- Associate the term 'non-recursive' with 'iterative' or 'looping' algorithms, which do not use recursion.
-
mnemonics
- Use the mnemonic 'No Recursion' to remember that non-recursive algorithms do not call themselves recursively.
Memorize "non-recursive" using Dictozo
The best and recommended way to memorize non-recursive is, by using Dictozo. Just save the word in Dictozo extension and let the app handle the rest. It enhances the memorization process in two ways:
-
Highlighting:
Whenever users encounters the saved word on a webpage, Dictozo highlights it, drawing the user's attention and reinforcing memorization.
-
