Defined with two arguments,m and n, it exhibits rapid growth even for small inputs, making it a classic example in theoretical computer science. Unlike simpler recursive functions, it is non-primitive recursive, meaning it cannot be expressed using basic loops. This function challenges computational limits, often exceeding recursion stack sizes in practical programming environments. Its main use is in studying recursion, computability, and the limits of algorithms.

Arrays - Bubble Sort in DSA

Bubble Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list is repeated until the list is sorted. The algorithm, which is a comparison sort, is named for the way smaller elements 'bubble' to the top of the list. Although the algorithm is simple, it is too slow and impractical for most problems even when compared to insertion sort. It can be practical if the input is usually in sort order but may occasionally have some out-of-order elements nearly in position.

Heap Sort is an efficient comparison-based sorting algorithm based on a binary heap data structure. It sorts by building a max-heap from the data and repeatedly extracting the maximum element.

Arrays - Quick Sort

Quick Sort is a highly efficient and commonly used sorting algorithm that employs a divide-and-conquer strategy. It is well-suited for large datasets and typically outperforms other algorithms like insertion sort and bubble sort.

Arrays - Selection Sort in DSA

Selection Sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm that divides the input list into two parts: the sublist of items already sorted and the sublist of items remaining to be sorted. It repeatedly finds the minimum element from the unsorted part and puts it at the beginning of the unsorted part. The algorithm maintains two subarrays in a given array. The subarray which is already sorted and the remaining subarray which is unsorted. In every iteration of selection sort, the minimum element from the unsorted subarray is picked and moved to the sorted subarray.

Arrays in Data Structures and Algorithms

An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations. It is a data structure that stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type.

Ulam Sequence Generation Via Recursion

The Recursive Ulam Sequence Generator is a feature that generates the Ulam sequence—a unique integer sequence—using a recursive algorithm. The Ulam sequence starts with two predefined numbers, 1 and 2, and each subsequent number is the smallest integer that can be expressed as the sum of two distinct earlier numbers in exactly one way. This feature provides a recursive approach to find Ulam numbers up to a given integer, maxN.

Unwinding in Recursion

Unwinding in recursion is the phase where recursive calls return back up the call stack, resolving each call step by step in reverse order
