Indeed, though if you test a recursive algorithm against a queue (or something else) algorithm, you'll find out that recursive is hell slow. Thus should be avoided when scripting (if at all). I'm not throwing off recursive algorithms, as I use it myself for some tasks, but only when I know how deep the recursion will go. Nothing should be used for everything :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
