Source code for the Dev.to article on recursion after factorials and Fibonacci

Source Code

The following files demonstrate three different recursive functions, two simple and one more complicated. The simple examples are accompanied by there iterative counterparts.

Simple (textbook) examples

1a: Factorial - iterative, using a for loop (factorial-i))
1b: Factorial - recursive (factorial-r)
2a: Fibonacci - iterative, using a for loop (fibonacci-i)
2b: Fibonacci - recursive (fibonacci-r)

Complicated example

3a: objectFlat - initial (objectFlat_initial)
3b: objectFlat (objectFlat)

Executing the examples

To execute the tests for a specific function use the following command in a terminal session.

npm run <example> where <example> is something like 1a or 3b.
