@Dave Angel : Thank you for the loop idea. It didn't strike me at all.

For some reason some beginners seem to find recursion a natural pattern.

There is a certain "hey, you can do that? That's cool!" factor when you first discover recursion. When it naturally applies to a problem, it's still a powerful thing, but yes, it's often misapplied by beginners.
