Recursion vs iteration in Python
Juraj Paluba

At school, I was taught to prefer an iterative paradigm over the recursive one. The reasoning was that recursion is memory ineffective and thus does not scale well. Recently, I have come across a recursive implementation in the production code, but I was unable to reason why we should avoid it.

Hence, I decided to investigate deeper and answer the question: "Is it okay to use recursion in a production-level code?". Together, we will cover the results from profiling specific recursive and iterative implementations. We will compare differences and analyze them.
